CHAPTER 16

Bandwidth Management

This chapter describes the bandwidth feature and shows you how to configure bandwidth

control.

16.1 Bandwidth Management Overview

Bandwidth management allows you to control the amount of outbound and inbound traffic on

the LAN. This helps reduce delays and dropped packets due to busy network traffic. On the

VSG, outbound traffic refers to network traffic coming from a LAN port to the WAN port

whereas inbound traffic refers to network traffic coming from the WAN port to a LAN port.

16.1.1 Bandwidth Allocation

The VSG provides two types of bandwidth control based on a subscriber’s computer MAC

address: equal share or class-based.

With equal share bandwidth allocation, the VSG allocates an equal amount of outgoing and

incoming bandwidth for each subscriber on the LAN.

With class-based bandwidth allocation, you can set up bandwidth classes in the billing profiles

on the VSG or on a RADIUS server.

13.1.2 Activating Bandwidth Management

To activate bandwidth management, click Advanced Setting, Bandwidth and select the

Bandwidth Management check box.
