Table 56 Security > User Roles > Add New User Role Field Descriptions (Continued) Field Default Description VLAN To Be Assigned VPN Dialer Profile Blank None (Optional) By default, a client is assigned a VLAN on the basis of the ingress VLAN for the client to the controller. Use this field to override this assignment and configure the VLAN ID that is to be assigned to the user role. (Optional) Use this field to assign a VPN dialer to a user role. Select a dialer from the drop-down list and assign it to the user role. This dialer will be available for download when a client logs in using captive portal and is assigned this role. For additional VPN information, refer to "Security > User Roles > VPN Dialers" on page 128. Policies Add New Policy Select this button to add a new policy to the user role. The following two fields appear with respective drop-down menus:  Policy  Dell PowerConnect W AP Group Policy dhcp-acl Select the policy to apply to this user role. Once any policy is selected, you can edit the policy by clicking the pencil icon. You can create a new policy by clicking the add icon. For additional information, refer to "Security > Policies" on page 131. Dell PowerConnect W AP None Group Select the Dell PowerConnect W AP Group in which this policy and user role will apply. For additional information, refer to "General Dell PowerConnect W AP Groups Procedures and Guidelines" on page 27. Select Add to complete the configuration of the User Role, or click Save to complete the editing of an existing role. The new role appears on the Security > User Roles page. Security > User Roles > BW Contracts You can manage bandwidth utilization by assigning maximum bandwidth rates, or bandwidth contracts, to user roles. You can configure bandwidth contracts, in kilobits per second (Kbps) or megabits per second (Mbps), for the following types of traffic:  from the client to the controller ("upstream" traffic)  from the controller to the client ("downstream" traffic) You can assign different bandwidth contracts to upstream and downstream traffic for the same user role. You can also assign a bandwidth contract for only upstream or only downstream traffic for a user role; if there is no bandwidth contract specified for a traffic direction, unlimited bandwidth is allowed. By default, all users that belong to the same role share a configured bandwidth rate for upstream or downstream traffic. You can optionally apply a bandwidth contract on a per-user basis; each user who belongs to the role is allowed the configured bandwidth rate. For example, if clients are connected to the controller through a DSL line, you may want to restrict the upstream bandwidth rate allowed for each user to 128 Kbps. Or, you can limit the total downstream bandwidth used by all users in the 'guest' role in Mbps.

Select
Add
to complete the configuration of the
User Role
, or click
Save
to complete the editing of an existing
role. The new role appears on the
Security > User Roles
page.
Security > User Roles > BW Contracts
You can manage bandwidth utilization by assigning maximum bandwidth rates, or bandwidth contracts, to user
roles. You can configure bandwidth contracts, in kilobits per second (Kbps) or megabits per second (Mbps), for
the following types of traffic:
from the client to the controller (“upstream” traffic)
from the controller to the client (“downstream” traffic)
You can assign different bandwidth contracts to upstream and downstream traffic for the same user role. You can
also assign a bandwidth contract for only upstream or only downstream traffic for a user role; if there is no
bandwidth contract specified for a traffic direction, unlimited bandwidth is allowed.
By default, all users that belong to the same role share a configured bandwidth rate for upstream or downstream
traffic. You can optionally apply a bandwidth contract on a per-user basis; each user who belongs to the role is
allowed the configured bandwidth rate. For example, if clients are connected to the controller through a DSL
line, you may want to restrict the upstream bandwidth rate allowed for each user to 128 Kbps. Or, you can limit
the total downstream bandwidth used by all users in the ‘guest’ role in Mbps.
VLAN To Be Assigned
Blank
(Optional) By default, a client is assigned a VLAN on the basis of the ingress VLAN
for the client to the controller. Use this field to override this assignment and
configure the VLAN ID that is to be assigned to the user role.
VPN Dialer Profile
None
(Optional) Use this field to assign a VPN dialer to a user role. Select a dialer from the
drop-down list and assign it to the user role. This dialer will be available for
download when a client logs in using captive portal and is assigned this role.
For additional VPN information, refer to
“Security > User Roles > VPN Dialers” on
page 128
.
