Each field is described in the following table.
Table 70 Management > Bandwidth MGMT > Summary
LABEL DESCRIPTION
LAN
Active Select this to enable bandwidth management on the LAN. Bandwidth
management applies to all traffic flowing out of the router through the LAN,
regardless of the traffic’s source.
Traffic redirect or IP alias may cause LAN-to-LAN traffic to pass through the
ZyXEL Device and be managed by bandwidth management.
Speed Enter the amount of bandwidth for this interface that you want to allocate using
bandwidth management.
The recommendation is to set this speed to match the interface’s actual
transmission speed. For example, set the LAN interface speed to 10000 kbps if
your Internet connection has an upstream transmission speed of 10 Mbps.
You can set this number higher than the interface’s actual transmission speed.
This will stop lower priority traffic from being sent if higher priority traffic uses all of
the actual bandwidth.
You can also set this number lower than the interface’s actual transmission speed.
If you do not enable Max Bandwidth Usage , this will cause the ZyXEL Device to
not use some of the interface’s available bandwidth.
This field is not affected by the
Bandwidth Management Wizard .
Scheduler Select Priority-Based to give preference to bandwidth classes with higher
priorities. Select Fairness-Based to treat all bandwidth classes equally.
Maximize
Bandwidth Usage
Select this if you want the ZyXEL Device to divide any unallocated and unused
bandwidth among bandwidth classes that require bandwidth. Clear this if you want
to reserve bandwidth for traffic that does not match a bandwidth class or if you
want to limit the speed of this interface.
WAN
Active Select this to enable bandwidth management on the WAN. Bandwidth
management applies to all traffic flowing out of the router through the WAN,
regardless of the traffic’s source.
