Click Configuration > Network > Routing > Static Route to open the Static 
Route screen. This screen displays the configured static routes. Configure static 
routes to be able to use RIP or OSPF to propagate the routing information to other 
routers.

Maximum 
Bandwidth

Specify the maximum bandwidth (from 1 to 1048576) allowed for the 
route in kbps. If you enter 0 here, there is no bandwidth limitation for 
the route.

If the sum of the bandwidths for routes using the same next hop is 
higher than the actual transmission speed, lower priority traffic may not 
be sent if higher priority traffic uses all of the actual bandwidth.

To reserve bandwidth for traffic that does not match any of the policy 
routes, leave some of the interface’s bandwidth unbudgeted and do not 
enable Maximize Bandwidth Usage.

Bandwidth 
Priority

Enter a number between 1 and 7 to set the priority for traffic. The 
smaller the number, the higher the priority. If you set the maximum 
bandwidth to 0, the bandwidth priority will be changed to 0 after you 
click OK. That means the route has the highest priority and will get all 
the bandwidth it needs up to the maximum available.

A route with higher priority is given bandwidth before a route with lower 
priority. 

If you set routes to have the same priority, then bandwidth is divided 
equally amongst those routes.

Maximize 
Bandwidth 
Usage

Select this check box to have the ZyWALL divide up all of the interface’s 
unallocated and/or unused bandwidth among the policy routes that 
require bandwidth. Do not select this if you want to reserve bandwidth 
for traffic that does not match any of the policy routes.
