Table 55 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 Prestige

 

and be managed by bandwidth management.

Active

Select an interface’s check box to enable bandwidth management on that interface.

 

 

Speed (kbps)

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

 

bandwidth management.

 

This appears as the bandwidth budget of the interface’s root class. The recommendation

 

is to set this speed to match what the interface’s connection can handle. For example,

 

set the WAN interface speed to 10000 kbps if the ADSL connection has an upstream

 

speed of 10Mbps.

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.

 

 

Max

Select this check box to have the Prestige divide up all of the interface’s unallocated

Bandwidth

and/or unused bandwidth among the bandwidth classes that require bandwidth. Do not

Usage

select this if you want to reserve bandwidth for traffic that does not match a bandwidth

 

class or you want to limit the speed of this interface (see the Speed field description).

Back

Click Back to go to the main Media Bandwidth Management screen.

 

 

Apply

Click Apply to save your settings back to the Prestige.

 

 

Cancel

Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.

 

 

16.12 Configuring Class Setup

The class setup screen displays the configured bandwidth classes by individual interface. Select an interface and click the buttons to perform the actions described next. Click “+” to expand the class tree or click “-“to collapse the class tree. 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 16.11 on page 167 to configure the speed of the interface). Configure child-class layers for the root class.

Refer to Section 16.1 on page 160 for more information.

To add or delete child classes on an interface, click Media Bandwidth Management, then Class Setup. The screen appears as shown (with example classes).
