Apply QoS profile using RADIUS attributes

Hi all,

Anyone delved into the use of RADIUS attributes to apply QoS values (DSCP/802.1p) to wireless users via a WLC?

With the emergence of ISE and the concept of a shared SSID for several user types I may want to apply QoS profiles by user rather than SSID.

Do you need to apply the maximum value to the SSID for the attribute-derived value to work?

Can non-WMM client traffic be marked using this approach?

Plenty to think about here...

Any discussion welcome!

Cheers

Rob

Yo can apply QoS RADIUS override.

Yes it would be best to apply the wlan max qos value to the level that you intend to use with the radius override. for example if you want to apply platinum qos for voice clients on the ssid, i would map the wlan to platinum qos.

i am not sure on the next question. I think u can assign a DSCP/802.1p to a non WMM clients but I dont think the non wmm clients will benefit from it as they will not tag their traffic and hence the AP and subsequently the wired network will treat it as best effort (untagged).

Thanks,
