User Groups
LAN and PPTP clients can be categorized into three user groups:
Manager, Staff, and
Guest
. This menu allows you to define rules and assign client IP addresses or subnets
to a user group. You can apply different bandwidth and traffic prioritization policies on
each user group in the
Bandwidth Control
and
Application
sections (note that the
options available here vary by model).
The table is automatically sorted by rule precedence. The smaller and more specific
subnets are put towards the top of the table and have higher precedence; larger and
less specific subnets are placed towards the bottom.
Click the
Add
button to define clients and their user group. Click the
button to
remove the defined rule. Two default rules are pre-defined and put at the bottom. They
are
All DHCP reservation clients
and
Everyone
, and they cannot be removed. The
All DHCP reservation client represents
the LAN clients defined in the DHCP
Reservation table on the LAN settings page.
Everyone
represents all clients that are
not defined in any rule above. Click on a rule to change its group.
Add / Edit User Group
Subnet / IP
Address
From the drop-down menu, choose whether you are going to define the client(s) by
an
IP Address
or a
Subnet
. If
IP Address
is selected, enter a name defined in DHCP
reservation table or a LAN client's IP address. If
Subnet
is selected, enter a subnet
address and specify its subnet mask.
Group
This field is to define which
User Group
the specified subnet / IP address belongs to.
Once users have been assigned to a user group, their internet traffic will be restricted by
rules defined for that particular group. Please refer to the following two sections for
details.
