your custom BWM action after a change from Type WAN to Global or back again. The values
you set for Guaranteed Bandwidth and Maximum Bandwidth are converted in the action object
to the guaranteed and maximum values set in the Global Priority Queue table for the selected
priority level. When the Type changes back to WAN, the guaranteed and maximum settings are
returned to their custom settings in the action object. The firewall stores your previous
guaranteed and maximum values if you switch the Bandwidth Management Type back and
forth. Figure 49:6 shows a policy that has a custom BWM action, while the global Bandwidth
Management Type is set to WAN.

Figure 49:7 shows the same policy after the global Bandwidth Management Type is set to
Global. Only the Priority appears in the tooltip, because no values are set in the Global Priority
Queue for guaranteed or maximum bandwidth for level 5.
Figure 49:7 Custom BWM Action in Policy with BWM Type of Global
When the Bandwidth Management Type is set to Global as in Figure 49:8, the Add/Edit
Action Object screen provides the Bandwidth Priority option, but uses the values that are
specified in the Priority table on the Firewall Settings > BWM page for Guaranteed Bandwidth
and Maximum Bandwidth. The Per Action or Per Policy Bandwidth Aggregation Method options
are not available for Action Objects when Bandwidth Management Type is set to Global.
