Bandwidth Control

The bandwidth control settings are used to place a ceiling on the transmitting and receiving data rates for any

selected port.

Bandwidth Control Settings

The Effective RX/TX Rate refers to the actual bandwidth of the switch port, if it does not match the configured rate.

This usually means that the bandwidth has been assigned by a higher priority resource, such as a RADIUS server.

To view the following window, click QoS > Bandwidth Control > Bandwidth Control Settings, as shown below:

transmitting, or both receiving and transmitting packets.

bandwidth limit or not.

no bandwidth limit.
