Configuring Bandwidth Objects

Bandwidth management configuration is based on policies that specify bandwidth limitations for traffic classes. A complete bandwidth management policy consists of two parts: a classifier and a bandwidth rule.

A classifier specifies the actual parameters, such as priority, guaranteed bandwidth, and maximum bandwidth, and is configured in a bandwidth object. Classifiers identify and organize packets into traffic classes by matching specific criteria.

This feature is available in SonicOS 6.1 and above.

The following configuration options are available in the Bandwidth Objects list:

•	Select bandwidth objects using the check boxes next to the name of the objects. You can also select all objects by clicking the check box in the header.

•	Edit bandwidth objects by clicking the Edit icon for that object.

•	Delete bandwidth object by clicking Delete for that object. You can also select multiple objects, then click Delete Bandwidth Object(s).

•	Hover the pointer over the Comment icon to display comments about the bandwidth object.
