WLC 5508 and Anchor/GuestNet rate limit traffic?

Jason Aarons · ‎08-31-2011

Running WLCs 5508s 7.0.116.0 with GuestNet and Anchor setup, how can I limit the bandwidth on the GuestNet SSDI to 2 Mbps, etc?

The DMZ WLC (Anchor) runs thru a ASA 5508 7x, can I rate limit traffic via ASA?

Looks like under Wireless > QoS Profiles > Per-User Bandwidth Contracts I can setup limitations, anyone have some real-world values they are using?

ALSO -- Keep in mind you can ONLY limit DOWN STREAM using that fucntion. NOT UPSTREAM. So client can up all they want.

Always best to apply on the wired side, just my 2 pennys.

That's really a matter of preference. This document describes things to keep in mind when altering these QoS profile configurations, FYI.

It really depends on how many guests, what type of traffic, etc, to make a judgement call as to where you should set these. I'm sorry but I don't have any examples from existing configurations, but hopefully the document explains how to best alter these settings.
