Class Setup

A bandwidth class is an application and/or a subnet. Use bandwidth classes and child-classes to allocate specific amounts of bandwidth capacity (bandwidth budgets). Configure a bandwidth filter to define a bandwidth class (or child-class) based on a specific application and/or subnet.

The Class Setup page displays the current classes configured. Select a class and click the buttons to perform the actions described below. Click "+" to expand the class tree or click " -" to collapse the class tree. Each interface has a permanent root class. The bandwidth budget of the root class is equal to the speed you configured on the interface. Configure child-class layers for the root class.
