• DSCP—Enter the DSCP value.

• BSSIDs—Choose the Basic Service Set Identifier, or the MAC address of the wireless access point (WAP).

Configuring Traffic Metering

Traffic metering allows you to measure and limit the traffic routed by this router. To configure traffic metering:

STEP 1 Choose QoS > Traffic Meter.

STEP 2 Check the Enable box to enable traffic metering on the optional WAN port. The router will keep a record of the volume of traffic going from this interface. The router can also be configured to place a restriction on the volume of data being transferred.

STEP 3 Choose the Traffic Limit type:

• No Limit—The default option, where no limits on data transfer are imposed. Choosing this option displays the outgoing and incoming traffic volume in the Internet Traffic Statistics section on the page. If traffic metering is not enabled, these statistics are not shown.

• Download Only—Limits the amount of download traffic. Enter the maximum allowed data (in Megabytes) that can be downloaded for a given month in the Monthly Limit field. Once the limit is reached, no traffic will be allowed from the WAN side.

• Both Directions—For this setting, the router will calculate traffic for both upload and download directions. The traffic limit typed into the Monthly Limit field is shared by both upload and download traffic. For example, for a 1GB limit, if a 700 MB file is downloaded then the remaining 300 MB must be shared between both upload and download traffic. The amount of traffic downloaded will reduce the amount of traffic that can be uploaded and vice-versa.

reached and you need to temporarily increase the limit, check this option and enter the value by which you want to increase the limit.

NOTE The This Month's Limit field displays the data transfer limit applicable for this month, which is the sum of the value in the Monthly Limit field and the Increase this Month's Limit field.

STEP 6 In the Traffic Counter fields, specify the type of action to be taken on the traffic counter:

• Restart Counter Now—Select this option and click Save to reset the counter to zero immediately.

• Restart Traffic Counter at Specific Time—Set a schedule for the traffic counter to restart. Typically, this is the last day of the month. Set the appropriate time and day of the month.

• Send E-mail Report before restarting counter—Select this option to receive an e-mail report before the traffic counter is restarted. The e-mail will be sent to the address configured in the Logging section.

NOTE This feature works only if you enable e-mail logs on the Administration > Logging > Remote Logging page. See Configuring Logging, page 131.

STEP 7 The When Limit is Reached section defines the router actions upon the traffic counter limits being reached at any given time. In the Traffic Block Status list, choose one of the following:

• Send e-mail alert—Check this option to send an e-mail when traffic limit is reached.

• Block All Traffic—If selected, then when the traffic limit is reached, all traffic to and from the WAN will be blocked.

Configuring Quality of Service (QoS)

Configuring 802.1p

• Block All Traffic Except E-mail—If selected, then when the traffic limit is reached, all traffic to and from the WAN will be blocked, but e-mail traffic will be allowed. This feature works only if you enable e-mail logs on the Administration > Logging > Remote Logging page. See Configuring Logging, page 131.

STEP 8 Click Save.

You can also view the Internet Traffic Statistics. If Traffic Metering is enabled for this interface, the following statistics will be displayed:

• Start Date/Time—The date on which the traffic meter was started or the last time when the traffic counter was reset.

• Outgoing Traffic Volume—The volume of traffic, in Megabytes, that was uploaded through this interface.

• Incoming Traffic Volume—The volume of traffic, in Megabytes, that was downloaded through this interface.

• Average per day—The average volume of traffic that passed through this interface.

• % of Standard Limit—The amount of traffic, in percent that passed through this interface against the Monthly Limit.

• % of this Month's Limit—The amount of traffic, in percent that passed through this interface against this Month's Limit (if the month's limit has been increased).

Configuring 802.1p

802.1p QoS provides a mechanism for implementing QoS at the Media Access Control level. By enabling 802.1p CoS to DSCP remarking, the router can set the DSCP field in IP packets, according the eight different classes of services in 802.1p.

To configure 802.1p:

Class of Service (CoS) or 802.1p specifies a priority value between 0 and 7 that can be used by Quality of Service (QoS) disciplines to differentiate traffic. Differentiated Services or DiffServ is a computer networking architecture that specifies a simple, scalable and coarse-grained mechanism for classifying, managing network traffic and providing Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees on modern IP networks. The DSCP value is the classification value the router uses in determining the egress marking as the frames traverse and exit the switch.
