Linksys
EtherType Select the EtherType field to compare the match
criteria against the value in the header of an Ethernet
frame.
Select an EtherType keyword or enter an EtherType
value to specify the match criteria.
Select from List Select
Select one of the following protocol types:
• appletalk
• arp
• ipv4
• ipv6
• ipx
• netbios
• pppoe
Match to Value
Enter a custom protocol identifier to which packets
are matched. The value is a four-digit hexadecimal
number in the range of 0600–FFFF.
Class of Service Select this field and enter an 802.1p user priority to
compare against an Ethernet frame.
The valid range is 0–7. This field is located in the first/
only 802.1Q VLAN tag.
Source MAC
Address
Select this field and enter the source MAC address to
compare against an Ethernet frame.
Source MAC Mask Select this field and enter the source MAC address
mask specifying which bits in the source MAC to
compare against an Ethernet frame.
A 0 indicates that the address bit is significant, and
an f indicates that the address bit is to be ignored. A
MAC mask of 00:00:00:00:00:00 matches a single MAC
address.
Destination MAC
Address
Select this field and enter the destination MAC
address to compare against an Ethernet frame.
Destination MAC
Mask
Enter the destination MAC address mask specifying
which bits in the destination MAC to compare against
an Ethernet frame.
A 0 indicates that the address bit is significant, and
an f indicates that the address bit is to be ignored. A
MAC mask of 00:00:00:00:00:00 matches a single MAC
address.
VLAN ID Select this field and enter the VLAN IDs to compare
against an Ethernet frame.
This field is located in the first/only 802.1Q VLAN tag.
After you set the desired rule criteria, click Save. To delete an ACL, select the
Delete ACL option and click Save.
Class Map
The Client QoS feature contains Differentiated Services (DiffServ) support that
allows traffic to be classified into streams and given certain QoS treatment in
accordance with defined per-hop behaviors.
Standard IP-based networks are designed to provide best effort data delivery
service. Best effort service implies that the network delivers the data in a timely
fashion, although there is no guarantee that it will. During times of congestion,
packets may be delayed, sent sporadically, or dropped. For typical Internet
applications, such as e-mail and file transfer, a slight degradation in service is
acceptable and in many cases unnoticeable. However, on applications with
strict timing requirements, such as voice or multimedia, any degradation of
service has undesirable effects.
By classifying the traffic and creating policies that define how to handle these
traffic classes, you can make sure that time-sensitive traffic is given precedence
over other traffic.
The access point supports up to 50 class maps.
