Configuring Bandwidth Settings - NETGEAR FS728TS User Manual

Configuring Bandwidth Settings

After packets are assigned to a queue, a scheduling scheme can be assigned to an interface, using either:
•
Committed Burst Size — Indicates the maximum number of data bits transmitted within a specific time interval.
•
Committed Information Rate — Indicates the rate that data is transmitted. The rate is averaged over a minimum time increment.
The Bandwidth Page allows network managers to define the bandwidth settings for a specified egress interface. Modifying queue scheduling
affects the queue settings globally. Queue shaping can be based per queue and/or per interface. Shaping is determined by the lower specified
value. The queue shaping type is selected in the Bandwidth Page.
To define bandwidth settings:
1. Click QoS > General > Bandwidth. The Bandwidth Page opens:
The Bandwidth Page contains the following fields:
•
Interface — Indicates the stacking members for which the bandwidth settings are displayed.
•
Status — Indicates if rate limiting is enabled on the interface. The possible field values are:
Enable — Enables rate limiting on the interface.
–
Disable — Disables rate limiting on the interface. This is the default value.
–
•
Rate Limit — Displays the amount of bandwidth assigned to the interface.
•
