• Do not use IP address 0 in any part of an IP address specification. For
example, do not use:
111.000.333.1
• Do not create multiple entries that specify the same range of IP addresses. If
you do, NetBackup uses the last one it finds. In the following example,
NetBackup uses the second entry.
LIMIT_BANDWIDTH = 111.222.333.1 111.222.333.255 500
LIMIT_BANDWIDTH = 111.222.333.1 111.222.333.255 200
This rule also applies to multiple entries that specify an exact client address,
such as
LIMIT_BANDWIDTH = 111.222.333.111 111.222.333.111 200
LIMIT_BANDWIDTH = 111.222.333.111 111.222.333.111 100
• Do not specify IP address ranges that overlap one another. For example, if
you specify
LIMIT_BANDWIDTH = 111.222.333.1 111.222.333.255 500
LIMIT_BANDWIDTH = 111.222.333.5 111.222.333.255 500
the ranges overlap and bandwidth limiting results are unpredictable.
• You can specify a range of addresses in one entry and an address for a
specific client in other entries.
If a client is covered by an entry that specifies its exact IP address and by
another entry that specifies a range of IP addresses, NetBackup uses the
bandwidth value in the entry with the exact IP address.
For example:
• The following sets the bandwidth for a range of IP addresses:
LIMIT_BANDWIDTH = 111.222.333.1 111.222.333.255 500
• The following sets the bandwidth for a specific address that is within the
above range.
LIMIT_BANDWIDTH = 111.222.333.111 111.222.333.111 200
