ZyXEL Communications P-2602 manual Media Bandwidth Management Summary

P-2602H(W)(L)-DxA Series User’s Guide

Enable bandwidth management on an interface and set the maximum allowed bandwidth for that interface.

Figure 136 Bandwidth Management: Summary

The following table describes the labels in this screen.

Table 101 Media Bandwidth Management: Summary

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	Enter the amount of bandwidth for this interface that you want to allocate using
(kbps)	bandwidth management.
	This appears as the bandwidth budget of the interface’s root class. 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.
	If this number is higher than the interface’s actual transmission speed, and you
	configure bandwidth rules for all of the bandwidth, higher priority traffic could use all of
	the bandwidth so lower priority traffic does not get through.
	Note: Unless you enable Max Bandwidth Usage, the ZyXEL Device
	only uses up to the amount of bandwidth that you configure here.
	The ZyXEL Device does not use any more bandwidth for the
	interface’s connections, even if the interface has more outgoing
	bandwidth.
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.
