Chapter 15 Configuring QoS
Configuring QoS
• QoS does not create additional bandwidth for your wireless LAN; it helps control the allocation of
bandwidth. If you have plenty of bandwidth on your wireless LAN, you might not need to configure
QoS.
• The ampdu command is available for the 802.11n radio interfaces. Aggregate MAC protocol data
unit (AMPDU) is a structure containing multiple MPDUs transported as a single PSDU by the
physical layer. For additional information about this command, see the Cisco IOS Command
Reference for Cisco Aironet Access Points and Bridges.
Configuring QoS Using the Web-Browser Interface
This section describes configuring QoS using the web-browser interface.
For a list of Cisco IOS commands for configuring QoS using the CLI, consult the Cisco IOS Command
Reference for Cisco Aironet Access Points and Bridges.
Follow these steps to configure QoS:
Step 1 If you use VLANs on your wireless LAN, make sure the necessary VLANs are configured on your access
point before configuring QoS.
Step 2 Click Services in the general menu bar at the top of any page in the web-browser interface. When the
list of Services appears, click QoS. The QoS Policies page appears. Figure 15-2 shows the QoS Policies
page.

Step 3
With <NEW> selected in the Create/Edit Policy field, type a name for the QoS policy in the Policy Name
entry field. The name can contain up to 25 alphanumeric characters. Do not include spaces in the policy
name.
