Creating Bandwidth Control Profiles - Extreme Networks Summit WM User Manual

WM Access Domain Services
4 In the Inter-SWM Shared Secret box, type a password between 8 and 63 characters long, to be used
between Summit WM Controllers. The shared secret is to encrypt pre-shared keys that have to be
moved between controllers for mobility. The same shared secret must also be defined on the other
Summit WM Controllers on the network.
5 In order to proofread your password before saving the configuration, click Unmask. The password is
displayed. To mask the password, click Mask.
This precautionary step is highly recommended in order to avoid an error, later, when the Summit
WM Controller attempts to communicate with the RADIUS server.
6 To save your changes, click Save.

Creating Bandwidth Control profiles

The Bandwidth Control Profiles ensure that no single user on any WM-AD is able to consume
disproportionate amount of bandwidth. A Bandwidth Control Profile consists of the following
parameters:
Profile Name - Name assigned to a profile
Committed Information Rate (CIR) - Rate at which the network supports data transfer under
normal operations. It is measured in kilobytes per second (Kbps).
Committed Burst Size (CBS) - Number of bits that the Summit WM Controller can transmit over the
WM-AD when congestion is occurring.
The Bandwidth Control Profiles you define on the WM-AD Global Settings screen appear as available
choices in Bandwidth Control Profiles menu on the WM-AD QoS Policy screen.
