5.4 Bandwidth Management for your Network

This section shows you how to configure the bandwidth management feature on the NBG-460N to limit the bandwidth for specific kinds of outgoing traffic. ZyXEL's bandwidth management feature allows you to specify bandwidth management rules based on an application or subnet.

Use the Management > Bandwidth MGMT > Advanced screen to configure bandwidth management for your network.

5.4.1 Configuring Bandwidth Management by Application

For this example, your company’s customer support department wants to prioritize VoIP, e-mail and MSN Messenger services.

In the Priority Queue table, VoIP and e-mail services are already pre-defined. However, you still need to add MSN Messenger in the list (refer to Section 5.4.2 on page 84).

In the following screen, you set the priorities for VoIP and e-mail.

Figure 63 Tutorial: Priority Queue

Click Enable for the VoIP (SIP) service and set priority to High. Do the same for E-mail. For the rest of the applications, click Enable if you need these services and set the priority to Low.

Note: You can also leave the Enable field blank for the rest of the applications. In doing so, the NBG-460N does not apply bandwidth management to these services.
