DESCRIPTION

 

 

LAN

 

 

 

Active

Select this to enable bandwidth management on the LAN. Bandwidth management

 

applies to all traffic flowing out of the router through the LAN, 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.

Speed

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

 

bandwidth management.

 

The recommendation is to set this speed to match the interface’s actual

 

transmission speed. For example, set the LAN interface speed to 10000 kbps if

 

your Internet connection has an upstream transmission speed of 10 Mbps.

 

You can set this number higher than the interface’s actual transmission speed.

 

This will stop lower priority traffic from being sent if higher priority traffic uses all of

 

the actual bandwidth.

 

You can also set this number lower than the interface’s actual transmission speed.

 

If you do not enable Maximize Bandwidth Usage, this will cause the ZyXEL

 

Device to not use some of the interface’s available bandwidth.

 

This field is not affected by the Bandwidth Management Wizard.

 

 

Scheduler

Select Priority-Basedto give preference to bandwidth classes with higher

 

priorities. Select Fairness-Basedto treat all bandwidth classes equally.

Maximize

Select this if you want the ZyXEL Device to divide any unallocated and unused

Bandwidth Usage

bandwidth among bandwidth classes that require bandwidth. Clear this if you want

 

to reserve bandwidth for traffic that does not match a bandwidth class or if you

 

want to limit the speed of this interface.
