Minimum Bandwidth (%
).
Use the UP ARROW and DOWN ARROW
keys to scroll between 0% to 100% to set the bandwidth you want to
guarantee for data sent over the selected partition. Each additional
percent increments the bandwidth by 100Mbps. For example, setting
the minimum bandwidth to 5 percent guarantees sending and
receiving data over the selected port at 500Mbps.

Maximum Bandwidth (%). The maximum allowed bandwidth is
specified as a percentage of the link speed. Use UP ARROW and
DOWN ARROW keys to scroll between 0% to 100% to set the
maximum bandwidth for data sent over the selected partition. Each
additional percent increments the bandwidth by 100Mbps. For
