LABEL DESCRIPTION
Active Select this to enable bandwidth management.
LAN BW
Budget(kbps)
Enter the amount of bandwidth for this interface that you want to allocate using
bandwidth management.
It is recommended to set this speed to match what the
LAN port’s connection can
handle. For example, set it to 100000 kbps if your Ethernet network has a maximum
speed of 100000 kbps.
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.
However, this will cause the ZyXEL Device to not use some of the interface’s available
bandwidth.
WLAN BW
Budget(kbps)
Enter the amount of bandwidth for this interface that you want to allocate using
bandwidth management.
It is recommended to set this speed to match the maximum speed of the wireless
network. In most cases, set it to 54000 kbps, unless your wireless network cannot
handle this speed.
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.
However, this will cause the ZyXEL Device to not use some of the interface’s available
bandwidth.
WAN BW
Budget(kbps)
Enter the amount of bandwidth for this interface that you want to allocate using
bandwidth management.
It is recommended to set this speed to match what the
WAN port’s connection can
handle. For example, set it to 40000 kbps if your broadband modem or router has a
maximum speed of 40000 kbps.
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.
However, this will cause the ZyXEL Device to not use some of the interface’s available
bandwidth.
# This field is a sequential value.
Direction Select LAN to apply bandwidth management to traffic that the ZyXEL Device forwards
to the LAN.
Select
WAN to apply bandwidth management to traffic that the ZyXEL Device forwards
to the WAN.
Select
WLAN to apply bandwidth management to traffic that the ZyXEL Device
forwards to the WLAN.
Name This field displays the name of the rule. You can change it. Enter a descriptive name of
up to 20 alphanumeric characters, including spaces.
Service This field displays one of the ZyXEL Device’s predefined applications, or it displays
User defined . If you want to change it to User defined , you may need to use the Edit
Bandwidth Management Rule screen to set up detailed settings.
Dest Port Enter the port number of the destination.A blank destination IP address means any
destination IP address.
