Each computer can be configured with only one bandwidth control rule.
A bandwidth control rule distinguishes different computer s based on the IP addresses of
the computer s. It is recommended that you configure your computer to obtain an IP
address from the router automatically. After the IP address of your computer is obtained,
you can configure the bandwidth control rule based on this IP address. The router can
record the mapping between the MAC address and IP address of a computer and thus
ensure that the same IP address can be assigned to the same computer every time.
