:
• 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.
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.
