SonicOS 5.8.1 Administrator Guide
In case of a BWM type of WAN, the configuration of these options is included in the following
steps.
Note All priorities will be displayed (0 –7) regardless if all have been configured. Refer to the
Firewall Settings > BWM page to determine which priorities are enabled. If you select a
Bandwidth Priority that is not enabled, the traffic is automatically mapped to the Medium
Priority (default).
Step 4 In the Bandwidth Aggregation Method drop-down list, select one of the following:
• Per Policy – When multiple policies are using the same Bandwidth Management action,
each policy can consume up to the configured bandwidth even when the policies are active
at the same time.
• Per Action – When multiple policies are using the same Bandwidth Management action,
the total bandwidth is limited as configured for all policies combined if they are active at the
same time.
Step 5 Do one or both of the following:
• To manage outbound bandwidth, select the Enable Outbound Bandwidth Management
checkbox.
• To manage inbound bandwidth, select the Enable Inbound Bandwidth Management
checkbox.
Step 6 To specify the Guaranteed Bandwidth, optionally enter a value either as a percentage or as
kilobits per second. In the drop-down list, select either % or Kbps.
