LABEL

DESCRIPTION

 

 

Interface

These read-only labels represent the physical interfaces. 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 ZyXEL

 

Device and be managed by bandwidth management.

Active

Select an interface’s check box to enable bandwidth management on that 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 10000 kbps if the DSL connection

 

has an upstream speed of 10Mbps.

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 ZyXEL Device divide up all of the interface’s

Bandwidth

unallocated and/or unused bandwidth among the bandwidth classes that require

Usage

bandwidth. Do not 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).
