Bandwidth User Groups
Bandwidth User Groups can be used to configure which IP address ranges the bandwidth manager controls, and optionally set
The following can be configured for each user group:
•First and last IP address.
•User type. Choose “IP Address” for normal user identification, where each IP address identifies one user. Choose “/24 Subnet” if you want all IP addresses within a /24 subnet to be identified as one single user. This can be used in routed networks, where each apartment (or office) is assigned a /24 subnet.
•Download and Upload bandwidth per user (optional). This can be used to set the
•Description. This can be used to store an informative description of the user group.
The default configuration is: Disabled
Additional LAN Subnets
Routes in addition to the LAN subnet can be added here. Each route added can be a NAT or a transparent route.
In a switched network with NAT to the LAN, some users on the LAN can have public IP addresses by adding them to this table as follows: Set Subnet to the user’s public IP address, set Subnet Mask to 255.255.255.255, leave Next Hop Gateway empty and select IP Routing.
On the user’s PC, set the IP address to the public IP address and the Subnet Mask to 255.255.255.255 (or 255.255.255.252 if 255.255.255.255 is not accepted) and Default Gateway to the IP address of the SmartShare, as shown on the LAN configuration menu (e.g. 192.168.2.1).
Remember to configure the Bandwidth Distributor with the added public IP addresses.
The default configuration is: Disabled
User Groups Denied Access to WAN
Local users in the defined address ranges are denied access to the WAN. Attempts to connect to the WAN will be rejected by the SmartShare.
