Bandwidth User Groups
Bandwidth User Groups can be used to configure which IP address ranges the
bandwidth manager controls, and optionally set per-user bandwidth limits within each
user group.
The following can be configured for each user group:
• First and last IP address.
• User type. Choose “IP Address” for normal user identification, where each IP
address identifies one user. Choose “/24 Subnet” if you want all IP addresses
within a /24 subnet to be identified as one single user. This can be used in
routed networks, where each apartment (or office) is assigned a /24 subnet.
• Download and Upload bandwidth per user (optional). This can be used to set
the per-user maximum bandwidth allowed for users in the user group. If left
blank, there will be no specific bandwidth limits; the users will participate
normally in the smart management of all the available bandwidth.
• Description. This can be used to store an informative description of the user
group.
The default configuration is: Disabled
Additional LAN Subnets
Routes in addition to the LAN subnet can be added here. Each route added can be a
NAT or a transparent route.
In a switched network with NAT to the LAN, some users on the LAN can have public
IP addresses by adding them to this table as follows: Set Subnet to the user’s public IP
address, set Subnet Mask to 255.255.255.255, leave Next Hop Gateway empty and
select IP Routing.
On the user’s PC, set the IP address to the public IP address and the Subnet Mask to
255.255.255.255 (or 255.255.255.252 if 255.255.255.255 is not accepted) and Default
Gateway to the IP address of the SmartShare, as shown on the LAN configuration
menu (e.g. 192.168.2.1).
Remember to configure the Bandwidth Distributor with the added public IP addresses.
The default configuration is: Disabled
User Groups Denied Access to WAN
Local users in the defined address ranges are denied access to the WAN. Attempts to
connect to the WAN will be rejected by the SmartShare.
The default configuration is: (empty)
