2. If an SU or End Point B is not in the list and is associated, the default QoS class configuration is applied.
5.6.2.4.1 Adding a New SU or End Point B
1. Navigate to ADVANCED CONFIGURATION > QoS > SU or End Point B List. The QoS SU or End Point B Entries
screen appears.
2. Click Add to add a new entry. The following QoS SU or End Point B Table Add Row screen appears.
Figure 5-91 QoS SU or End Point B Table Add Entry
3. Specify the Wireless Mac Address of the SU or End Point B, Class Name, Comment and Entry Status and click Add.
Previously defined Class Name can be viewed in the Class Name drop-down box.
:
•
QoS SU Entries configuration can be done locally or through a RADIUS Server.
•
Local configuration takes priority over RADIUS Based QoS configuration.
•
RADIUS Configuration is applicable only when the RADIUS MAC ACL Status is enabled on the BSU.
•
When the link is down, the RADIUS configuration is lost.
5.6.3 QoS Configuration for a Management Station
As stated previously, the QoS feature enables prioritization of traffic and allocation of the available bandwidth based on that
prioritization. The system is designed in such a way that higher priority traffic preempts lower priority traffic, keeping lower
priority traffic on hold until higher priority traffic finishes. This mechanism ensures that the available bandwidth is always
given first to the higher priority traffic; if all the bandwidth is not consumed, the remaining bandwidth is given to the lower
priority traffic.

priority traffic on hold until higher priority traffic finishes. This mechanism ensures that the available bandwidth is always
given first to the higher priority traffic; if all the bandwidth is not consumed, the remaining bandwidth is given to the lower
priority traffic.
If QoS is not properly configured, the system becomes difficult to access in heavily loaded networks. One of the side effects of
this misconfiguration is ping time-out, which is usually interpreted as a disconnection of the pinged node. However, with the
correct QoS configuration, every node in the network can be reached at any point of time.

The following configuration instructions explain how to configure the system so that configuration parameters can always be
changed, and ping requests and responses get higher priority in order to show the actual connectivity of the pinged node.
changed, and ping requests and responses get higher priority in order to show the actual connectivity of the pinged node.
The configuration suggested here assumes that the whole network is managed from a single work station, called the
management station. This station can be connected anywhere in the network, and can be recognized by either its IP address,
or by its MAC Ethernet address if the network uses DHCP.
management station. This station can be connected anywhere in the network, and can be recognized by either its IP address,
or by its MAC Ethernet address if the network uses DHCP.
In this configuration, any traffic coming from or going to the management station is treated as management traffic.
Therefore, the management station should be used only for configuration of the BSU/End Point A or SU/End Point B nodes in
the network and to check connectivity of the nodes, but it should not be used for any throughput measurements.

: While this QoS configuration is used, the TCP or UDP throughput should not be measured from the
management station.
