SonicWALL 5.8.1 Manuale Utente

When you change the Bandwidth Management Type from Global to WAN, the default BWM 
actions that are in use in any App Rules policies will be automatically converted to WAN 
BWM Medium, no matter what level they were set to before the change.

 

 
When you change the Type from WAN to Global, the default BWM actions are converted to 
BWM Global-Medium. The firewall does not store your previous action priority levels when 
you switch the Type back and forth. You can view the conversions on the Firewall > App 
Rules page.

Priority Column — Displays the priority number and name.

Enable Checkbox — When checked, the priority queue is enabled.

Guaranteed and Maximum\Burst Text Field — Enables the guaranteed and maximum/
burst rates. The corresponding Enable checkbox must be checked in order for the rate to 
take effect. These rates are identified as a percentage. The configured bandwidth on an 
interface is used in calculating the absolute value. The sum of all guaranteed bandwidth 
must not exceed 100%, and the guaranteed bandwidth must not be greater than the 
maximum bandwidth per queue.

The default settings for this page consists of three priorities with preconfigured guaranteed 
and maximum bandwidth. The medium priority has the highest guaranteed value since this 
priority queue is used by default for all traffic not governed by a BWM enabled policy.

BWM can be configured using the following methods:

This section uses Global BWM as the Bandwidth Management Type (Firewall Settings > 
BWM).
