Chapter 19 Bandwidth Management

The class setup screen displays the configured bandwidth classes by individual interface. 
Select an interface and click the buttons to perform the actions described next. 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 (see 

 to configure the speed of the interface). Configure 

sub-classes for the root class. A default class automatically displays for all the bandwidth in 
the Root Class that is not allocated to bandwidth classes.

To add or delete child classes on an interface, click BW MGMT, then the Class Setup tab. 
The screen appears as shown (with example classes).
