supply of bandwidth, such as VoIP traffic. The VoIP quality would not be good,
if all of the outgoing bandwidth is occupied via FTP. Additionally, chances are

Using BWM

Setp 1: Go to Web Configurator, Advanced Setup, Advanced -> Bandwidth

, activate bandwidth management on the interface you

example.
Enter the total speed for this interface that you want to allocate using
bandwidth management. This appears as the bandwidth budget of the
interface’s root class.
Select how you want the bandwidth to be allocated. Priority-Based means
bandwidth is allocated via priority, so the traffic with highest priority would be
served first, then the second priority is served secondly and so on. If
