25.11 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 25.10 on page 404 to configure the speed of the interface). Configure sub-class layers for the root class.

To add or delete child classes on an interface, click ADVANCED, BW MGMT, then the Class Setup tab. The screen appears as shown (with example classes).
