BEST PRACTICES

1. Switch AP Traffic

1.1. Trusting DCSP on the AP port i trusting the WLC configurations.

1.2. Additional QoS Policy for queuing might need to be add on the AP port..

2. Switch WLC Traffic

2.1. Traffic leaving the WLC can be either upstream or downstream.

2.2. CoS and DCSP values for downstream traffic are determined but the WLC QoS policy.

2.3. CoS for upstream traffic is determined by the WLC QoS Policy.

2.4. DCSP value for upstream traffic is determined but the WLAN client DCSP request.

3. CAPWAP Traffic
