Fastlane on 9800 vs 8540

[Luna99923]

Hi,

I am looking to migrate my AP's from WLC 8540's to 9800's. On our 8540's, we have fastlane enabled on particular SSID's.  I am a bit confused with fastlane on the 9800's as it doesn't exactly do the same things as it does on the 8540's.  

After enabling fastlane on policy profile on the 9800's, do I need to do anything else in terms of QoS?

Thanks

Yes, it is bit confusing Cisco use "fastlane" term in many different places in AireOS & 9800 configurations and they will do different things. I think below is a recent document Cisco talks about it saying you simply enable "Fastlane QoS" profile on your SSID.

I had a look at those different QoS policies and here are some of my blog posts, that may help you too
