Chapter 17 Bandwidth MGMT

Table 98 Management > Bandwidth MGMT > Summary

LABEL	DESCRIPTION
Active	Select this to enable bandwidth management on the WAN. Bandwidth
	management applies to all traffic flowing out of the router through the WAN,
	regardless of the traffic’s source.
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 WAN interface speed to 1000 kbps if
	your Internet connection has an upstream transmission speed of 1 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 Max 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.
WLAN
Active	Select this to enable bandwidth management on the WLAN. Bandwidth
	management applies to all traffic flowing out of the router through the WLAN,

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