VPN Bandwidth Management

Bandwidth management is a means of allocating bandwidth resources to critical applications on a network. The VPN Bandwidth Management section allows you to define the amount of outbound VPN traffic allowed from the SonicWALL. Traffic is then scheduled in Kbps according to Guaranteed Bandwidth (minimum) and Maximum Bandwidth settings.

To enable VPN Bandwidth Management, follow these steps:

1Select Enable VPN Bandwidth Management.

2Enter the minimum amount of bandwidth allowed in the Guaranteed Bandwidth (Kbps) field.

3Enter the maximum amount of bandwidth allowed in Maximum Bandwidth (Kbps) field.

4Select VPN bandwidth priority from the Priority menu, 0 (highest) to 7 (lowest).

5Click Apply.

9Tip: Bandwidth management is available only on outbound VPN traffic. You cannot configure individual Security Associations to use bandwidth management.
