LABEL

DESCRIPTION

 

 

LAN

These read-only labels represent the physical interfaces.

WLAN

 

WAN

 

Active

Select an interface’s check box to enable bandwidth management on that interface.

 

Bandwidth management applies to all traffic flowing out of the router through the

 

interface, regardless of the traffic’s source.

 

Traffic redirect or IP alias may cause LAN-to-LAN traffic to pass through the Prestige

 

and be managed by bandwidth management.

 

Bandwidth management controls outgoing traffic on an interface, not incoming. In order

 

to limit the download bandwidth of the LAN users, set the bandwidth management class

 

on the LAN. In order to limit the upload bandwidth, set the bandwidth management class

 

on the corresponding WAN interface.

Speed (kbps)

Enter the amount of bandwidth for this interface that you want to allocate using

 

bandwidth management.

 

This appears as the bandwidth budget of the interface’s root class. The recommendation

 

is to set this speed to match what the interface’s connection can handle. For example,

 

set the WAN interface speed to 1000 kbps if the ADSL connection has an upstream

 

speed of 1000 kbps.

Scheduler

Select either Priority-Basedor Fairness-Basedfrom the drop-down menu to control

 

the traffic flow.

 

Select Priority-Basedto give preference to bandwidth classes with higher priorities.

 

Select Fairness-Basedto treat all bandwidth classes equally.

 

 

Max

Select this check box to have the Prestige divide up all of the interface’s unallocated

Bandwidth

and/or unused bandwidth among the bandwidth classes that require bandwidth. Do not

Usage

select this if you want to reserve bandwidth for traffic that does not match a bandwidth

 

class or you want to limit the speed of this interface (see the Speed field description).
