    Hi everyone,

    I can't seem to find anywhere to check (or enable) if airtime fairness is tunred on.

    We have 3800 controllers and AP105's - with ARM enabled. I can see options for Band Steering - but not Airtime Fairness.

    IS this visible through the GUI or only CLI?

    Thanks

    Wally

    Enabling Traffic Shaping Traffic shaping is configured in an traffic management profile. In the WebUI To configure traffic shaping via the WebUI: 1. Select Configuration > All Profiles. The All Profile Management window opens. 2. Select QoS to expand the QoS section. 3. Select Traffic management profile. 4. In the Profiles Details window, select the name of the traffic management profile for which you want to configure traffic shaping. (If you do not have any traffic management profiles configured, enter a name for a new profile in the Profile Details pane, then click Add. Select the new profile from the profiles list.) 5. In the Profile Details pane, click the Station Shaping Policy drop-down list and select either default-access, fair-access or preferred-access. 6. Click Apply to save your changes.

    Many thanks for the fast response:

    2 questions.

    1. If I set the Shaping policy do the other settings for Proportaional Bandwidth Allocation and Report Interval stay as default?

    2. What is the difference using the All Profiles option rather than going in via Wireless AP configuration the QOS / 802.11a Traffic Mgt Profile option there?

    Many thanks

    1. Yes.

    2. If looking at it from the All profiles route you will need to ensure that the traffic management profile you created is actually applied to the VAP you want to shape.
