Information and configuration fields related to the selected NIC partition include:

Use the UP ARROW and DOWN ARROW keys to scroll between 0 %
to 100 % to set the bandwidth you want to guarantee for data sent over the selected partition. Each
additional percent increments the bandwidth by 100Mbps. For example, setting the minimum
bandwidth to 5 percent guarantees sending and receiving data over the selected port at 500Mbps.
— Maximum Bandwidth (%). The maximum allowed bandwidth is specified as a percentage of the
link speed. Use UP ARROW and DOWN ARROW keys to scroll between 0 % to 100 % to set the
maximum bandwidth for data sent over the selected partition. Each additional percent increments
the bandwidth by 100Mbps. For example, setting the maximum bandwidth to 100 percent allows for
sending and receiving data over the selected partition at up to 10,000Mbps.
