WAP371 - Limit Bandwidth for Particular Users

[southerndoc]

With the Ubiquiti WAP's, I have the ability to create user groups that can restrict bandwidth.  I can then assign a user to one of those groups.  For instance, if someone is hogging up bandwidth, I can limit them to 5 Mbps downstream and 1 Mbps upstream instead of the default 250 down/30 up.

Is there a way to do this with the WAP371 series?

To apply bandwidth restriction, follow the steps given below.

Step 1: Create a Host

Go to Objects > Hosts > IP Host and click Add to create an IP Host with the following parameters. 

Parameter	Value	Description
Name	Sales	Name to identify the Host. Duplicate names are not allowed.
Type	Network	Select the type of host. Available options: -       Single IP Address -       Network IP Address with subnet -       IP Range -       IP List to add assorted IP     Addresses
IP Address	192.168.168.0	Specify IP Address based on the Host Type selected.
Host Group	Host Group	Select host group i.e. host group membership. Single host can be member of multiple host groups.

 

Click OK to create the IP Host.

Step 2: Create QoS Policy

Go to QoS > Policy > Policy and click Add to create a policy with the following parameters. 

Parameter	Value	Description
Name	Sales_Policy	Name to identify the Policy. Duplicate names are not allowed.
Policy Based On	Firewall Rule	Select any one option to specify for whom the policy is to be created.
Policy Type	Committed	Select any one option to specify policy type Available Options: Strict - In this type of policy, user cannot exceed the defined bandwidth limit. Committed - In this type of policy, user is allocated the guaranteed amount of bandwidth and can draw bandwidth up to the defined burst-able limit, if available.
Implementation On	Individual(Upload/Download)	Select any one option to specify implementation strategy of policy. Available options: -       Total(Upload + Download) -       Individual(Upload/Download)
Priority	1 – [Business Critical]	Set the bandwidth priority. Priority can be set from 0 (highest) to 7 (lowest) depending on the traffic required to be shaped.
Guaranteed – Burstable Upload and Download	64 - 128	Set the guaranteed and burstable bandwidth.
Bandwidth Usage Type	Shared	Select any one to specify the bandwidth usage. Available options: Individual – Allocated bandwidth is for the particular user only Shared – Allocated bandwidth is shared among all the users who have been assigned this policy

Click OK to create the QoS Policy.

Step 3: Create Firewall Rule to apply QoS Policy

Go to Firewall > Rule > IPv4 Rule and Add a firewall rule to apply the QoS Policy created in Step 2.

  

Click OK to create the Firewall Rule.

The above configuration applies bandwidth restriction on the Host Sales.Oracle training in chennai | Java training in chennai
