ZyXEL Communications P-2304R-P1 Series Manuel D’Utilisation

Chapter 15 Bandwidth MGMT

P-2304R-P1 Series User’s Guide

Use this screen to look at the configured bandwidth classes by individual interface. 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 

). There is a default class 

for all the bandwidth in the Root Class that is not allocated to bandwidth classes.

Speed

Enter the amount of bandwidth for this interface that you want to allocate using 

bandwidth management. 
The recommendation is to set this speed to match the interface’s actual 

transmission speed. For example, set the WAN interface speed to 1000 kbps if 

your Internet connection has an upstream transmission speed of 1 Mbps.
You can set this number higher than the interface’s actual transmission speed. 

This will stop lower priority traffic from being sent if higher priority traffic uses all of 

the actual bandwidth.
You can also set this number lower than the interface’s actual transmission speed. 

If you do not enable Max Bandwidth Usage, this will cause the ZyXEL Device to 

not use some of the interface’s available bandwidth.
This field is not affected by the 

Scheduler

Select Priority-Based to give preference to bandwidth classes with higher 

priorities. Select Fairness-Based to treat all bandwidth classes equally.

Maximize 

Bandwidth Usage

Select this if you want the ZyXEL Device to divide any unallocated and unused 

bandwidth among bandwidth classes that require bandwidth. Clear this if you want 

to reserve bandwidth for traffic that does not match a bandwidth class or if you 

want to limit the speed of this interface.
