Reserving Uplink Bandwidth

You can reserve and prioritize uplink bandwidth traffic to provide higherQoSQuality of Service. It refers to the capability of a network to provide better service and performance to a specific network traffic over various technologies.for specific applications, traffic, or ports. This is done by applying bandwidth reservation on existing sessionACLsAccess Control List. ACL is a common way of restricting certain types of traffic on a physical port.. Typically, the bandwidth reservation is applied for uplink voice traffic.

Note the following before you configure bandwidth reservation:

You must know the total bandwidth available.

Bandwidth reservation is applicable only on sessionACLsAccess Control List. ACL is a common way of restricting certain types of traffic on a physical port..

Bandwidth reservation on voice trafficACLsAccess Control List. ACL is a common way of restricting certain types of traffic on a physical port.receives higher priority over other reserved traffic.

You can configure up to three unique priority for bandwidth reservation.

The bandwidth reservation must be specified in absolute value (KbpsKilobits per second.).

Priorities for bandwidth reservation are optional, and bandwidth reservations without priorities are treated equal.

Understanding Bandwidth Reservation for Uplink Voice Traffic

This prevents the re-use of voiceACLsAccess Control List. ACL is a common way of restricting certain types of traffic on a physical port.for bandwidth reservation. However, you can create bandwidth reservation rules that can be applied on voice signaling traffic and ports used for voice data traffic. This mechanism filters traffic as per the security requirements.

Configuring Bandwidth Reservation

You can configure bandwidth reservationACLsAccess Control List. ACL is a common way of restricting certain types of traffic on a physical port.using the WebUI or theCLICommand-Line Interface. A console interface with a command line shell that allows users to execute text input as commands and convert these commands to appropriate functions..

The following procedure describes how to configure bandwidth reservation:

1.In theManaged Networknode hierarchy, navigate to theConfiguration > System > Profilestab.

2.ClickAPand selectAP system.

3.ClickRemote APaccordion. You can create a new AP system profile to configure bandwidth reservation or edit an existing AP system profile. InRemote-AP bw reservation 1,Remote-AP bw reservation 2andRemote-AP bw reservation 3fields, specify bandwidth reservation values.

4.ClickSave.

5.ClickPending Changes.

6.In thePending Changeswindow, select the check box and clickDeploy changes.
