An engineer configures QoS on an AireOS WLC v8.5. The engineer configures a WLAN for voice traffic and must set the data rates within the QoS profile. How should the data rates be configured to ensure

The sequence in which burst and average data rates are entered does not affect policy enforcement - both values are evaluated together at commit time, not in entry order.

In AireOS WLC QoS profiles, the burst data rate defines the maximum short-term throughput allowed, while the average data rate defines the sustained rate. If the burst rate is set lower than the average rate, the WLC considers the policy invalid and will block traffic to and from the client, so burst must be greater than or equal to average to permit any traffic flow.

Data rate parameters in a QoS profile are applied per WLAN profile, not per AP radio; per-radio data rate settings are a separate configuration found under the AP or RF profile, not the QoS profile.

Setting the burst rate to a non-zero value alone is necessary but not sufficient - if the non-zero burst rate is still less than the average data rate, the policy is invalid and traffic will not be passed.
