Per Host QoS with Active Directory

EXAMPLE

Restrict users in the Active Directory 'Students' group to 100 kbps.

  1. Using the Web UI - Advanced Mode, go to Configuration > Objects > Users & Groups. Edit the "Students (DEV)" group.

Active Directory Groups

  1. Each host is limited to a maximum bandwidth of 100 kbps. With Per Host Bandwidth set to Automatically Share, a maximum of 400 hosts can fall into this Dynamic Virtual Circuit.
  2. Create a Network Object from the Active Directory group.

Map AD Group 'Students' To Network Object 'Students'

  1. The Network Object "Students" can now be used in a Dynamic Virtual Circuit.

Students Dynamic Virtual Circuit

  1. Each host in the "Students" Network Object is limited to 100 kbps. With Max Hosts set to "Auto", a maximum of 2400 hosts can fall into this Dynamic Virtual Circuit. Additional hosts will share bandwidth allocated in the "Students Overflow" Virtual Circuit.

Students Overflow Virtual Circuit

Dynamic Virtual Circuit For Remaining Bandwidth

  1. Another Dynamic Virtual Circuit can be created to share the remaining bandwidth for other hosts. In this example, each host is guaranteed 100 kbps with No Bursting Allowed.
