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.
•
Delete
— Deletes the bandwidth settings from the interface. The possible field values are:
