VPN Bandwidth Management
Bandwidth management is a means of allocating bandwidth resources to critical applications on a

VPN traffic allowed from the SonicWALL. Traffic is then scheduled in Kbps according to Guaranteed
Bandwidth (minimum) and Maximum Bandwidth settings.
To enable VPN Bandwidth Management, follow these steps:
1
Select Enable VPN Bandwidth Management.
2
Enter the minimum amount of bandwidth allowed in the Guaranteed Bandwidth (Kbps) field.
3
Enter the maximum amount of bandwidth allowed in Maximum Bandwidth (Kbps) field.
4
Select VPN bandwidth priority from the Priority menu, 0 (highest) to 7 (lowest).
5
Click Apply.

Tip: Bandwidth management is available only on outbound VPN traffic. You cannot configure
individual Security Associations to use bandwidth management.
