classification

Specifies how traffic on this WLAN is classified. This classification is based on relative prioritization on the radio.

Supported on the following devices:

Access Points: AP5010, AP310i/e, AP410i/e, AP505i, AP510i, AP510e, AP560i, AP6522, AP6562, AP7161, AP7502, AP7522, AP7532, AP7562, AP7602, AP7612, AP7622, AP763, AP7662, AP8163, AP8543, AP8533.
Service Platforms: NX5500, NX7500, NX9500, NX9600
Virtual Platforms: CX9000, VX9000

Syntax

classification [low|non-unicast|non-wmm|normal|video|voice|wmm]
classification [low|normal|video|voice|wmm]

classification non-unicast [voice|video|normal|low|default]

classification non-wmm [voice|video|normal|low]

Parameters

classification [low|normal|video|voice|wmm]


low	Optimized for background traffic. Implies all traffic on this WLAN is low priority on the radio
normal	Optimized for best effort traffic. Implies all traffic on this WLAN is prioritized as best effort traffic on the radio
video	Optimized for video traffic. Implies all traffic on this WLAN is prioritized as video traffic on the radio
voice	Optimized for voice traffic. Implies all traffic on this WLAN is prioritized as voice traffic on the radio
wmm	Uses WMM based classification, using DSCP or 802.1p tags, to classify traffic into different queues Implies WiFi Multimedia QoS extensions are enabled on this radio. This allows different traffic streams between the wireless client and the Access Point to be prioritized according to the type of traffic (voice, video etc). The WMM classification supports high throughput data rates required for 802.11n device support.

classification non-unicast [voice|video|normal|low|default]


non-unicast	Optimized for non-unicast traffic. Implies all traffic on this WLAN is designed for broadcast or multiple destinations
video	Optimized for non-unicast video traffic. Implies all WLAN non-unicast traffic is classified and treated as video packets
voice	Optimized for non-unicast voice traffic. Implies all WLAN non-unicast traffic is classified and treated as voice packets
normal	Optimized for non-unicast best effort traffic. Implies all WLAN non-unicast traffic is classified and treated as normal priority packets (best effort)
low	Optimized for non-unicast background traffic. Implies all WLAN non-unicast traffic is classified and treated as low priority packets (background)
default	Uses the default classification mode (same as unicast classification if WMM is disabled, normal if unicast classification is WMM)

classification non-wmm [voice|video|normal|low]


non-wmm	Specifies how traffic from non-WMM clients is classified
voice	Optimized for non-WMM voice traffic. Implies all WLAN non-WMM client traffic is classified and treated as voice packets
video	Optimized for non-WMM video traffic. Implies all WLAN non-WMM client traffic is classified and treated as video packets
normal	Optimized for non-WMM best effort traffic. Implies all WLAN non-WMM client traffic is classified and treated as normal priority packets (best effort)
low	Optimized for non-WMM background traffic. Implies all WLAN non-WMM client traffic is classified and treated as low priority packets (background)
