These entities are simply placeholders for Policy completion, in case policies are incompletely
defined. For example, a Policy may be defined as “no-change” for Topology assignment.
If an incomplete Policy is assigned as the default for a VNS / WLAN Service (wireless port), the
incomplete Policy needs to be fully qualified, at which point the missing values are picked from
the Default Global Policy definitions, and the resulting policy is applied as default.
Note:
You can edit the attributes of the Default Global Policy (in the VNS > Globals tab) to any other parameters of
your choosing (for example, any other topology, more permissive filter sets, more restrictive Rate Control
profile).
It is possible to define a Default Global Policy to refer to a specific Topology (for example,
Topology_VLAN), and then configure every other Policy’s topology simply as “No-change.” This
will cause the default assignment to Topology_VLAN, so that all user traffic, regardless of which
policy they're currently using (with different access rights, different rate controls) will be carried
through the same VLAN.
VNS Global Settings
Before defining a specific VNS, define the global settings that will apply to all VNS definitions.
These global settings include:
• Authentication
– Configuring RADIUS servers on the enterprise network. The defined servers are
displayed as available choices when you set up the authentication mechanism for each
WLAN Service.
– Configuring the MAC format.
– Configuring RFC 3580 (ACCESS -ACCEPT) RADIUS attributes for the selected server. A
Policy Map Table maps each VLAN ID to a Policy ID.
• DAS (Dynamic Authorization Service)
– Configuring Dynamic Authorization Service (DAS) support. DAS helps secure your
network by providing the ability to disconnect a mobile device from your network.
• Wireless QoS, comprising Admission Control Thresholds and Flexible Client Access Fairness
Policy.
– Admission control thresholds protect admitted traffic against overloads, provide distinct
thresholds for VO (voice) and VI (video), and distinct thresholds for roaming and new
streams.
– Flexible Client Access provides the ability to adjust media access fairness in five levels
between Packet Fairness and Airtime Fairness.
• Bandwidth Control
– The Bandwidth Control Profiles you define are displayed as available choices in the Rate
Profiles menu when you set up CoS policy.
