AirLive WLA-9000AP User’s Manual
Total Bandwidth: Total Bandwidth control limit the bandwidth between Wireless and
Ethernet interface. Therefore, it is most suitable for Client Infrastructure Mode, Bridge
Mode, and WISP Router Mode. For WISP operator who use WLA-9000AP as the
client side device; setting the Total Bandwidth control on the WLA-9000AP will easy
the loading on the AP for bandwidth management. To begin, please enable the
Bandwidth Management first. Then enter the downlink and uplink speed; click on
Apply to finish.
Total Downlink Speed: Enter speed you wish to limit the download traffic in Kbps
units.
Total Uplink Speed: Enter the speed you wish to limit the upload traffic in Kbps
units.
Per User Bandwidth Control: Per user Bandwidth Control can limit speed of
individual PC and network device. The WLA-9000AP allows multiple Per-User
bandwidth rules and can limit the bandwidth by IP address, MAC address, or IP
segment. Please first enable the Bandwidth Control, then select “Per User Bandwidth
Control” to begin. It is recommended to use this type of bandwidth control for Access
Point and AP Router mode.
Per User Control Options
Description: Enter a description for the bandwidth policy. For example, “VIP”
subscriber
Type: WLA-9000AP offers 3 types of Per-User Control
IP Address: To limit the bandwidth of one single IP address.
IP Segment: To limit the bandwidth the entire IP segment.
For example; if you enter the address of 192.168.1.20 with subnet mask of
255.255.255.248, the WLA-9000AP will limit bandwidth of IP addresses from
192.168.1.17 to 192.168.1.22. Please use an online IP calculate if you are
not familiar with IP segment calculation. Below is an example link:

Because the Ethernet interface is also controlled by the Bandwidth Manager,
it is recommended that devices on the Ethernet side to use a wider IP subnet
mask that will cover the IP range of the controlled IP segment. Therefore,
the devices on Ethernet interface will not be limited by bandwidth control and
still can communicate with the IP segment. For example, if your IP segment
is set to 192.168.1.20 / 255.255.255.248, then the devices on the Ethernet
side should be 192.168.1.X / 255.255.255.0.
MAC address: To limit the bandwidth of one single MAC address.
Port Range: This is available only in WISP router and AP Router mode. It
can limit the bandwidth by application ports.
