If you manually define the bandwidth usage for each host, you limit the number of hosts that can be accom-
modated on the dynamic virtual circuit. You can do this by either defining an actual bandwidth or by defining a
percentage of the available bandwidth. By default, though, the EMC can set no less than 10 kbps for any one
host, so a hard limit to the maximum number of hosts is the total available bandwidth divided by 10 kbps. This
setting allows you set higher bandwidth quotas for a limited number of hosts.
By allowing the EMC to automatically adjust and share bandwidth, you are letting as many hosts as can be to
accommodate within the available bandwidth on the dynamic virtual circuit. The minimum bandwidth that the
EMC can provide is 10 kbps, the hard limit to the number of hosts is the total bandwidth divided by 10 kbps.
While defining a maximum bandwidth usage for each host, when spare capacity exists on the dynamic virtual circuit
because few hosts are active, you can allow the active hosts have greater bandwidth (to burst). You can set the burst rate
limit as an actual bandwidth measure (kbps, Mbps, etc.) or specify a percentage of the available bandwidth. You can also
disallow bursting.
While specifying the location of the hosts as internal or external, remember that this setting allows you specify
whether the hosts on the dynamic virtual circuit located within the LAN or outside the LAN.
While defining the maximum number of hosts, you can either manually define the maximum number of hosts that
can be accommodated on the dynamic virtual circuit, or you can let the EMC control how many hosts are allowed on the
circuit.
Ensuring minimum bandwidth when sharing equally
Use the following instructions to ensure a minimum amount of bandwidth when sharing with as many hosts as possible.
On the
Add New Virtual Circuit
form, do the following:
1.
Select the
Dynamic Virtual Circuit
checkbox.
2.
If necessary, clear the
Automatically Share
checkbox.
3.
Set the DVC settings to:
Per Host Bandwidth:
– Type the minimum amount of bandwidth for the hosts to receive
Per Host Max Bandwidth:
– Set to 100%
Max Hosts:
– Select
Auto
