Bandwidth limiting determines the speed with which the data is sent from a host.
You can define a bandwidth profile to limit the outbound traffic, thus preventing the
LAN users from consuming all the bandwidth of the Internet link.
Bandwidth limiting is applied according to the WAN Mode settings:
•
Single port and auto-failover modes: Bandwidth limiting is performed on
the available WAN interface.
•
Load balancing mode: Bandwidth limiting is performed on the interface
that you specify in the Bandwidth Profiles Configuration page.
Bandwidth limiting is not applicable to a DMZ interface.
Configuring a bandwidth profile can be done in two steps: Create a bandwidth
profile to establish the parameters for the profile, and then associate this profile
with a traffic selector. The traffic selector identifies the stream of traffic, which will
then be subject to the specified bandwidth control.
Creating Bandwidth Profiles
To create a bandwidth profile, complete the following tasks:
Click Networking on the menu bar, and then click Bandwidth Profiles >
Bandwidth Profiles in the navigation tree.
The Bandwidth Profiles page appears. Any existing profiles appear in the List of
Bandwidth Profiles table.
Before you can add, edit, or delete bandwidth profiles, you must enable this feature
by checking the check box on this page.
