QoS Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) Parameters
The following commands configure the client (STA) and AP Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) parameters.
The EDCA parameter set provides information needed by the client stations for proper QoS operation during the wireless
contention period. These parameters are used by the QoS enabled AP to establish policy, to change policies when
accepting new stations or new traffic, or to adapt to changes in the offered load. The EDCA parameters assign priorities
to traffic types where higher priority packets gain access to the wireless medium more frequently than lower priority
packets.
NOTE: We have defined default recommended values for EDCA parameters; we recommend not modifying EDCA
parameters unless strictly necessary.
Defining the QoS Policy used for a Wireless Interface SSID
The QoS Policy object configures the QoS policy to be used per wireless interface SSID. This object is part of the
Wireless Interface SSID Table; the CLI command for this table is “wifssidtbl.”
* A QoS Policy number needs to be specified in the SSID table. This depends on the QoS policies configured by the user. Once the user has
configured QoS policies, the user should specify the policy to be used for that SSID.
CLI Batch File
A CLI Batch file is a user-editable file that lists a series of CLI set commands, that can be uploaded to the Access Point to
change its configuration. The Access Point executes the CLI commands specified in the CLI Batch file after upload and
the configuration gets changed accordingly. A CLI Batch file can also be used for Auto Configuration.
The CLI Batch file does not replace the existing LTV format configuration file, which continues to define the configuration
of the AP.
The CLI Batch file contains a list of CLI commands that the AP will execute. The AP performs the commands in the file
immediately after the file is uploaded to the AP manually or during Auto Configuration. The AP parses the file and
