Chapter 17 Bandwidth MGMT

17.2.2 Bandwidth Class Setup Screen

Use this screen to look at the configured bandwidth classes by individual interface. 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 17.2.1 on page 202). There is a default class for all the bandwidth in the Root Class that is not allocated to bandwidth classes.

"For each interface, you must enable bandwidth management before you can configure classes.

To access this screen, click Management > Bandwidth MGMT > Class Setup.

DESCRIPTION

Class Setup

 

 

 

Interface

Select the interface for which you wish to set up classes.

 

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.

 

 

Root Class

In this section, you can look at each class and its allocated bandwidth. Select the

 

class to which you want to add a sub-class, which you want to edit, or which you

 

want to delete.

 

If you used the Bandwidth Management Wizard, each service you selected

 

(except WWW) becomes a LAN sub-class and a WAN sub-class in this screen.

 

WWW only becomes a LAN sub-class.

 

 

Add Sub-Class

Click this to add a sub-class to the selected class.

 

 

Edit

Click this to configure the selected class. You cannot edit the root class. The

 

Bandwidth Class Edit screen appears.

 

 

Delete

Click this to delete the selected class and all its sub-classes. You cannot delete

 

the root class.
