21.9 Configuring Class Setup

The class setup screen displays the configured bandwidth classes by individual interface. Select an interface and click the buttons to perform the actions described next. Click “+” to expand the class tree or click “-“ to collapse the class tree. Each interface has a permanent root class. The bandwidth budget of the root class is equal to the speed you configured on the interface (see Section 21.8 on page 271 to configure the speed of the interface). Configure child-class layers for the root class.

To add or delete child classes on an interface, click Media Bandwidth Management, then Class Setup. The screen appears as shown (with example classes).

The example reserves 10 Mbps of unbudgeted bandwidth for traffic that is not defined in the bandwidth filters (see Section 21.6.1 on page 268). The Administration and Sales USA bandwidth classes each have bigger bandwidth budgets than the total of the budgets of their child-classes. The child-classes can borrow the extra bandwidth as long as they have bandwidth borrowing enabled (see Section 21.7 on page 270).
