b) Lock the minimum default transfer rate for select users or globally. The following commands lock minimum
incoming and outgoing transfer rates for all users:
# asconfigurator -x
"set_node_data;transfer_in_bandwidth_flow_min_rate_lock,true"
# asconfigurator -x
"set_node_data;transfer_out_bandwidth_flow_min_rate_lock,true"
Global Bandwidth Settings (Command Line)
Global bandwidth usage by incoming and outgoing transfers can be configured from the command line by creating
Vlink(s) that is applied to all users.
In the following example, Vlink 108 is used to limit the upload bandwidth (outgoing transfers) to 88 Mbps (88000
Kbps) and Vlink 109 is used to limit the download bandwidth (incoming transfers) to 99 Mbps (99000 Kbps).
# asconfigurator -x
"set_trunk_data;id,108;trunk_capacity,88000;trunk_on,true"
# asconfigurator -x
"set_trunk_data;id,109;trunk_capacity,99000;trunk_on,true"
# asconfigurator -x
"set_node_data;transfer_in_bandwidth_aggregate_trunk_id,108"
# asconfigurator -x
"set_node_data;transfer_out_bandwidth_aggregate_trunk_id,109"
The commands create the following lines in
aspera.conf
.
