Setting rate limiting
The WLAN provides limited bandwidth for each device. As the bandwidth is shared by wireless clients
attached to the device, aggressive use of bandwidth by a client will affect other clients. To ensure fair use
of bandwidth, you can rate limit traffic of clients in either of the following two approaches:
•
Configure the total bandwidth shared by all clients in the same BSS. This is called dynamic mode.
The rate limit of a client is the configured total rate/the number of online clients. For example, if the
configure total rate is 10 Mbps and five clients are online, the rate of each client is 2 Mbps.
•
Configure the maximum bandwidth that can be used by each client in the BSS. This is called static
mode. For example, if the configured rate is 1 Mbps, the rate limit of each user online is 1 Mbps.
When the set rate limit multiplied by the number of access clients exceeds the available bandwidth
provided by the device, no clients can get the guaranteed bandwidth.
To set rate limiting:
1. Select Interface Setup > Wireless > Wireless QoS from the navigation tree.
2. Click the Client Rate Limit tab.
3. Click Add .
