Scenario 9 - Reserving Highest Bandwidth Management Priority for a Superior User and
Control Session per Host – BWM Per IP or Per User

9.1 Application Scenario

In an enterprise network, there are various types of traffic. But the company Internet connection bandwidth is
limited to a specific value. All this traffic will contend to use the limited bandwidth, which may result in some
important traffic. Therefore, intelligent bandwidth management for improved productivity becomes a matter
of high concern for network administrators. USG provides Bandwidth Management (BWM) function to
effectively manage bandwidth according to different flexible criteria.
On USG 4.10 firmware have extend the BWM function for a superior user and control session per host by only
add one rule, then USG can control Per IP or Per User to use the limited bandwidth individually. Among all the
traffic in the company network, sometimes we need to assign higher priority to some superior users to keep
their important work going on smoothly. For example, the general managers need to surf Internet smoothly to
conduct his daily important work. Therefore, the network administrator should use the bandwidth
management function to prioritize the managers' Internet traffic, and guarantee a minimum bandwidth for
their own traffic by IP address or by user account.

9.2 Configuration Guide

BWM Per IP-
Task1. Add the policy to limit the user bandwidth via the BWM function.
Step 1. Go to Configuration > BWM > Add the policy to limit the Bandwidth by BWM type –Per-Source-IP.
(1) BWM Type : Per-Source-IP, Source: LAN1_SUBNET
Note: Object source IP address must belong to class C range which amount can't over 256 users.
