Port Bandwidth
To optimize the queuing algorithm, it is essential for the BWM module to be aware of the maximum
available bandwidth on the ports. This can configured via the BWM port Bandwidth table. By default,
the maximum available throughput is determined by the port type—100 Mbit/s for the FE ports
and 1 Gbit/s for the Gigabit Ethernet ports. The priority mechanism will only begin to function upon
link saturation. Configuring the maximum throughput is the only way of telling if the link is
saturated.
To define a maximum available bandwidth for a port
1. In the Configuration perspective BWM tab navigation pane, select Ports Bandwidth Table.
2. Double-click the port whose maximum available bandwidth you want to define.
3. In the Port Bandwidth text box, type the required value.
4. Click OK.
