Bandwidth Control - D-Link DWS-3160-24TC Reference Manual

DWS-3160 Series Gigabit Ethernet Unified Switch Web UI Reference Guide

Bandwidth Control

The bandwidth control settings are used to place a ceiling on the transmitting and receiving data rates for any
selected port.
Bandwidth Control Settings
The Effective RX/TX Rate refers to the actual bandwidth of the switch port, if it does not match the configured rate.
This usually means that the bandwidth has been assigned by a higher priority resource, such as a RADIUS server.
To view the following window, click QoS > Bandwidth Control > Bandwidth Control Settings, as show below:
The fields that can be configured or displayed are described below:
Parameter
From Port / To Port

Description
Use the drop-down menu to select the port range to use for this configuration.
This drop-down menu allows a selection between RX (receive), TX (transmit), and
Both. This setting will determine whether the bandwidth ceiling is applied to receiving,
transmitting, or both receiving and transmitting packets.
This drop-down menu allows the user to specify that the selected port will have no
bandwidth limit or not.
NOTE: If the configured number is larger than the port speed, it means no bandwidth
limit.
This field allows the input of the data rate that will be the limit for the selected port. The
user may choose a rate between 64 and 1024000 Kbits per second.
If a RADIUS server has assigned the RX bandwidth, then it will be the effective RX
bandwidth. The authentication with the RADIUS sever can be per port or per user. For
per user authentication, there may be multiple RX bandwidths assigned if there are
multiple users attached to this specific port. The final RX bandwidth will be the largest
one among these multiple RX bandwidths.
