Table 85 Bandwidth Management Configuration
LABEL DESCRIPTION
Active Select this check box to have the Prestige apply bandwidth management.
Enable bandwidth management to give traffic that matches a bandwidth rule
priority over traffic that does not match a bandwidth rule.
Enabling bandwidth management also allows you to control the maximum
amounts of bandwidth that can be used by traffic that matches a bandwidth rule.
WAN BW Budget
(kbps)
Enter the amount of bandwidth in kbps (2 to 100,000) that you want to allocate for
traffic. 20 kbps to 20,000 kbps is recommended.
The recommendation is to set this speed to be equal to or less than the speed of
the broadband device connected to the WAN port. For example, set the speed to
1000 Kbps (or less) if the broadband device connected to the WAN port has an
upstream speed of 1000 Kbps.
# This is the number of an individual bandwidth management rule.

forwards to the LAN.
Select To WAN to apply bandwidth management to traffic that the Prestige

first.
