Reserving Uplink Ban dwidth
You canreserve and prioritize uplink bandwidth traffic to provide higherQoS for specific applications, traffic or
ports. This is done by applying bandwidth reservation on existing session ACLs. Typic ally,the bandwidth reservation
is applied for uplinkvo ice traffic.
The followingmust be noted before you configurebandwidth reservation:
lYou must know the total bandwidth available.
lThe bandwidth reservationare applicable only on session A CLs.
lBandwidth reservation on voice traffic ACLs receives higher priority over other reserved traffic.
lYou can configureup t o three uniquepriorit y for bandwidth reservation.
lThe bandwidth reservationmust be specified in absolute value (kbps).
lPriorities for bandwidth reservation are optional and bandwidth reservations without priorities will be treated
equal.

Understand ing Bandw idth Reservation fo r Uplink Voice Traffic

The voice ACLs are applicable on thevo ice signallingtraffic used to establish voice call through a firewall. Whena
voice ACL is executed, a dynamic session is introduced to allow voice traffic through the firewall.This prevents the
re-useof vo ice ACLs for bandwidth reservation. However, you can create bandwidth reservation rulesthat can be
appliedo n voice signalling traffic andalso on ports used for voice data traffic. This mechanism filters traffic as per
the security requirements.

Configuring B andwidth Reservation

You can configurebandwidth reservation A CLs using CLI or the WebUI.
In the WebUI
To configure bandwidth reservation
1. Navi gate to Configuration >Advanced Services >All Profiles
2. Under
Profiles
, navigate to AP >AP System Profile. You can create a new A P system profile to configure
bandwidth reservation or edit an existing AP system profile.Under the
ProfileDetails
page,speci fy bandwidth
reservation values.
