DESCRIPTION
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.
Note: The WLAN class refers to the Ethernet interfaces in the WLAN
port role. The ZyWALL does not apply bandwidth
management to an installed wireless card's traffic.
Traffic redirect or IP alias may cause LAN-to-LAN or DMZ-to-DMZ traffic to pass
through the ZyWALL and be managed by bandwidth management.
Select an interface's check box to enable bandwidth management on that interface.
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 (see Section 24.12 on page
speed to match what the device connected to the port can handle. For example, set
the WAN interface speed to 1000 kbps if the broadband device connected to the
WAN port has an upstream speed of 1000 kbps.
The recommendation is to set this speed to match the interface's actual
transmission speed. For example, set the WAN interface speed to 1000 kbps if your
Internet connection has an upstream transmission speed of 1 Mbps.
You can set this number higher than the interface's actual transmission speed. This
will stop lower priority traffic from being sent if higher priority traffic uses all of the
actual bandwidth.
You can also set this number lower than the interface's actual transmission speed. If
you do not enable Max Bandwidth Usage, this will cause the ZyWALL to not use
some of the interface's available bandwidth.
Select either Priority-Based or Fairness-Based from the drop-down menu to
control the traffic flow.
Select Priority-Based to give preference to bandwidth classes with higher priorities.
Select Fairness-Based to treat all bandwidth classes equally. See
page 461.
