rate-limit
Configures the WLAN traffic rate limits using the WLAN QoS policy
Excessive traffic causes performance issues or brings down the network entirely. Excessive traffic
can be caused by numerous sources including network loops, faulty devices or malicious software
such as a worm or virus that has infected one or more devices at the branch. Rate limiting limits
the maximum rate sent to or received from the wireless network (and WLAN) per wireless client. It
prevents any single user from overwhelming the wireless network. It can also provide differential
service for service providers. The uplink and downlink rate limits are usually configured on a
RADIUS server using Brocade vendor specific attributes. Rate limits are extracted from the RADIUS
server’s response. When such attributes are not present, settings defined on the controller (access
point, wireless controller, or service platform) are applied. An administrator can set separate QoS
rate limits for upstream (data transmitted from the managed network) and downstream (data
transmitted to the managed network traffic.
trust [dscp|wmm]
Trusts the QoS values of ingressing packets
•
dscp – Trusts the IP DSCP values of ingressing packets
•
wmm – Trusts the 802.11 WMM QoS values of ingressing packets
