1. Enter the following in the QoS Classification and Marking section:
• Classifier Map: VoIP-Mapping
•voip: VoIP-QoS
The QoS map and policy were previously configured in "Mapping the MAC OUI and Services to Aerohive
Classes" on page 98, and as part of user profiles in "Example 4: Creating User Profiles" on page 113.
2. Enter the following in the User Profile Based QoS Policing and Scheduling section, and then click Save:

User Profile Weights
(for traffic forwarding using WRR)
For IT, Emp, and Guests users, the maximum traffic forwarding
rates are the same for the entire user profile as they are for an
individual user. By keeping them the same, a single online user is
not restricted to a smaller rate than that of the profile to which he
or she belongs. (The individual user rate can be the same as or
smaller than its profile rate.)
For VoIP users, because individual calls use relatively little
bandwidth (8~64 Kbps), a single user does not need as much as
that for the entire VoIP user profile. A 3200 Kbps/profile maximum
allows up to 50 concurrent voice sessions at 64 Kbps per HiveAP
(3200 ÷ 64 = 50). If a stronger voice compression codex is used,
the number of concurrent voice sessions can increase
proportionately. The maximum user rate of 512 Kbps allows other
types of telephony-related traffic, such as DNS, DHCP, HTTP,
and TFTP, in addition to pure voice traffic.

The bar chart indicates the ratio of allotted
bandwidth among the four user profiles based
on their respective weights. During the course
of one second, a HiveAP allots 12 times more
bandwidth for VoIP users, 8 times more for IT
users, and 5 times more for Emp users than it
allots for Guests.
Bandwidth rationing only occurs when usage is
at maximum capacity.
Note: Weights do not apply to strict traffic
forwarding.
Note: Unregistered-Guests (ID 6) is not shown.
