This table describes the parameters that can be modified in the Add Bandwidth Control Entry page.

Parameters

 

Description

Rule Name

 

The rule describes the type of bandwidth traffic to be controlled

 

 

and of a specification of what action to take when that

 

 

bandwidth traffic is encountered.

 

 

 

Committed

Rate

This is the minimum bandwidth rate at which a user can get the

(kbit)

 

throughput.

 

 

Ceiling Rate (kbit)

This is the capped bandwidth rate to limit a user’s throughput.

 

 

 

Rule Type

 

This is the type of rule depending on which IP or MAC address to

 

 

use to download or upload a user’s throughput.

 

 

IP/MAC Address

This is the type of address to be chosen depending on the rule

 

 

type. For instance, if you may want to limit an entirely machine

 

 

address or a user by his router’s MAC address, you can specify

 

 

the MAC address using that field in the same way that you can

 

 

limit by IP address.

 

 

 

Step 3:

After you have completed the parameters, click Add so that the new rule is added in the entry list shown in Step 1. To add more new bandwidth rules, repeat Step 1 through 3.

NOTE

The sum of Committed Rate of the rules should never exceed the corresponding Total Rate.
