Configure Marker Maps

For outgoing traffic, you can define marker maps to map classes to priority numbers in standard classification systems (802.11e, 802.1p, and DSCP). After you define classifier and marker maps, you then define classifier and marker profiles that enable one or more of the methods defined in the maps. Finally, you associate those profiles with SSIDs or interfaces to apply the mappings to traffic arriving at or exiting those interfaces.

Use the following procedures to configure marker maps for outgoing traffic. When you configure marker maps at the network policy level, you can reuse existing maps. Select the list, and in the dialog box, select the check box of a map and choose Select. All fields are automatically populated with the information for the selected map.

Note

Deleting a marker map from the Location Server dialog box also deletes it from the Common Objects list. You can only delete a marker map if no other configuration object is using it. to see a list of configuration objects that reference a marker map, hover over the number in the Used By column for that map in the Marker Maps window in the Common Objects section.

Toggle Marker Maps to On or Off to enable or disable this feature.
Enter a name for the marker map.
Enter an optional description about this map.
The QoS marking tables show the mapping of classes to WMM® (Wi-Fi Multimedia™) queues and the 802.1p classification system (marked in the L2 frame header in Ethernet frames), and the DiffServ codepoint marking system (marked in the L3 packet header) on outgoing packets. You can modify these mappings if necessary.

Extreme Network devices always include 802.11e priority marking in the L2 headers of wireless frames automatically, so it is not included here as a configurable option.

Depending on the classification systems used in the surrounding network, select the appropriate check boxes to map classes to one or both systems for outgoing traffic. A network policy can reference just one marker map.
