Table 103 Bandwidth Management Rule Configuration

LABEL

DESCRIPTION

 

 

Rule Configuration

 

 

 

Rule Name

Use the auto-generated name or enter a descriptive name of up to 20

 

alphanumeric characters, including spaces.

BW Budget

Specify the maximum bandwidth allowed for the rule in kbps. The

 

recommendation is a setting between 20 kbps and 20000 kbps for an individual

 

rule.

Priority

Select a priority from the drop down list box. Choose High, Mid or Low.

 

 

Use All Managed

Select this option to allow a rule to borrow unused bandwidth on the interface.

Bandwidth

Bandwidth borrowing is governed by the priority of the rules. That is, a rule with

 

the highest priority is the first to borrow bandwidth. Do not select this if you want

 

to leave bandwidth available for other traffic types or if you want to restrict the

 

amount of bandwidth that can be used for the traffic that matches this rule.

Filter Configuration

 

 

 

Service

This field simplifies bandwidth class configuration by allowing you to select a

 

predefined application. When you select a predefined application, you do not

 

configure the rest of the bandwidth filter fields (other than enabling or disabling

 

the filter).

 

SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) is a signaling protocol used in Internet

 

telephony, instant messaging and other VoIP (Voice over IP) applications. Select

 

SIP from the drop-down list box to configure this bandwidth filter for traffic that

 

uses SIP.

 

File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is an Internet file transfer service that operates on

 

the Internet and over TCP/IP networks. A system running the FTP server

 

accepts commands from a system running an FTP client. The service allows

 

users to send commands to the server for uploading and downloading files.

 

Select FTP from the drop-down list box to configure this bandwidth filter for FTP

 

traffic.

 

H.323 is a standard teleconferencing protocol suite that provides audio, data and

 

video conferencing. It allows for real-time point-to-point and multipoint

 

communication between client computers over a packet-based network that

 

does not provide a guaranteed quality of service. Select H.323 from the drop-

 

down list box to configure this bandwidth filter for traffic that uses H.323.

 

Select User defined from the drop-down list box if you do not want to use a

 

predefined application for the bandwidth class. When you select User defined,

 

you need to configure at least one of the following fields (other than the Subnet

 

Mask fields which you only enter if you also enter a corresponding destination or

 

source IP address).

Destination Address

Enter the destination IP address in dotted decimal notation.

 

 

Destination Subnet

Enter the destination subnet mask. This field is N/A if you do not specify a

Netmask

Destination Address. Refer to the appendix for more information on IP

 

subnetting.

Destination Port

Enter the port number of the destination. See Appendix 31 on page 371 for some

 

common services and port numbers. A blank destination IP address means any

 

destination IP address.

Source Address

Enter the source IP address in dotted decimal notation. A blank source IP

 

address means any source IP address.
