CAPWAP QOS

[Stefan Engel]

Hi Community,

I'm currently reviewing our QoS policy (WAN) and would like to add CAPWAP traffic.
We have 2 central WLCs (5508, 7.2.110.3) and about 100 AP's (mainly 3600) across 10 sites running HREAP mode.

Guest access is centrally switched, where all others are locally switched.

The goal is just to add CAPWAP 'control' traffic to our WAN QoS policy, while the centrally switched for our guest wifi still should be handled as best effort.

Is there any way to separate this..or is ALL traffic communicating through CAPWAP ports 5246/5247?

Thanks,
Stefan

Capwap control traffic is only UDP 5246 & 5247.

Here is a traffic study. It's lwapp but still a good guide to reference.

Hi Steve,

I hope this is going to be helpful:

It is about lwapp, but capwap is almost the same concept.

Thanks for your feedback.

I will add udp 5246 (CAPWAP control channel)
