Enabling Bandwidth Management on an Access Rule

Bandwidth management can be applied on both ingress and egress traffic using access rules. Access rules displaying the Funnel icon are configured for bandwidth management.

Do not configure bandwidth management on multiple interfaces on a zone, where the configured guaranteed bandwidth for the zone is greater than the available bandwidth for the bound interface.

For information on configuring Bandwidth Management see the OBJECT | Profile Objects > Bandwidth section in the SonicOSObject documentation.
