Chapter 10 Network And System Management; Performance Management; Bandwidth Capacity - NETGEAR UTM9S Reference Manual

Network and System Management
10.
This chapter describes the tools for managing the network traffic to optimize its performance and
the system management features of the UTM. This chapter contains the following sections:
•

Performance Management

• System Management
• Connect to a ReadyNAS and Configure Quarantine Settings (UTM9S Only)
Note: The ReadyNAS Integration configuration menu shows on the
UTM9S only.
Performance Management
Performance management consists of controlling the traffic through the UTM so that the
necessary traffic gets through when there is a bottleneck. You can either reduce
unnecessary traffic or reschedule some traffic to low-peak times to prevent bottlenecks from
occurring in the first place. The UTM has the necessary features and tools to help the
network manager accomplish these goals.

Bandwidth Capacity

The maximum bandwidth capacity of the UTM in each direction is as follows:
• LAN side (single WAN port models and multiple WAN port models). 4000 Mbps (four LAN
ports at 1000 Mbps each), except for the UTM50, which has six LAN ports and therefore
supports up to 6000 Mbps.
• WAN side
- Load balancing mode (multiple WAN port models only). 2000 Mbps (two WAN ports
at 1000 Mbps each), except for the UTM150, which has four WAN ports and therefore
supports up to 4000 Mbps.
- Auto-rollover mode (multiple WAN port models only). 1000 Mbps (one active WAN
port at 1000 Mbps).
- Primary WAN mode (single WAN port models and multiple WAN port models).
1000 Mbps (one active WAN port at 1000 Mbps).
