Release Notes

Parameter Description Range Default
there is congestion on the wireless
network.You must set traffic shaping to
fair-access to use this bandwidth
allocation value for an individual virtual
AP.
l preferred-access: High-throughput
(802.11n) clients do not get penalized
because of slower 802.11a/g or 802.11b
transmissions that take more air time
due to lower rates. Similarly, faster
802.11a/g clients get more access than
802.11b clients.
Usage Guidelines
The traffic management profile allows you to allocate bandwidth to SSIDs. When you enable the band-steering
feature, an AP keeps track of all BSSIDs active on a radio, all clients connected to the BSSID, and 802.11a/g,
802.11b, or 802.11n capabilities of each client. Every sampling period, airtime is allocated to each client, giving
it opportunity to get and receive traffic. The specific amount of airtime given to an individual client is
determined by;
l Client capabilities (802.11a/g, 802.11b or 802.11n)
l Amount of time the client spent receiving data during the last sampling period
l Number of active clients in the last sampling period
l Activity of the current client in the last sampling period
The bw-alloc parameter of a traffic management profile allows you to set a minimum bandwidth to be
allocated to a virtual AP profile when there is congestion on the wireless network.You must set traffic shaping
to fair-access to use this bandwidth allocation value for an individual virtual AP.
Example
The following command configures a traffic management profile that allocates bandwidth to the corpnet
virtual AP:
(host) (config) #wlan traffic-management-profile best
bw-alloc virtual-ap corpnet share 75
