Working with Bandwidth Control Profiles
Bandwidth control limits the amount of bidirectional traffic from a mobile device. A bandwidth
control profile provides a generic definition for the limit applied to certain wireless clients' traffic.
A bandwidth control profile is assigned on a per policy basis. A bandwidth control profile is not
applied to multicast traffic.
A bandwidth control profile consists of the following parameters:
• Profile Name — Name assigned to a profile
• Committed Information Rate (CIR) — Rate at which the network supports data transfer
under normal operations. It is measured in kilo bytes per second (Kbps).
The bandwidth control profiles you define on the VNS Global Settings screen are displayed as
available choices in the Bandwidth Control Profiles list on the Classes of Service screen.
To Create a Bandwidth Control Profile:
1. From the top menu, click VNS Configuration. The Virtual Network Configuration screen is
displayed.
2. In the left pane, click Global, then click Bandwidth Control.
3. Create a bandwidth control profile by doing the following:
– Profile Name — Type a name for the bandwidth control profile.
– In the Average Rate (CIR) — Type the CIR value for the bandwidth control profile.
4. Click Add Profile. The profile is created and displayed in the Bandwidth Control Profiles list.
5. Create additional bandwidth control profiles, if applicable.
