aaa bandwidth-contract aaa bandwidth-contract {kbits |mbits } Description This command configures a bandwidth contract. Syntax Parameter kbits mbits Description Name that identifies this bandwidth contract. Limit the traffic rate for this bandwidth contract to a specified number of kilobits per second. Limit the traffic rate for this bandwidth contract to a specified number of megabits per second. Range - 256-2000000 1-2000 Usage Guidelines You can apply a configured bandwidth contract to a user role or to a VLAN. When you apply a bandwidth contract to a user role (see user-role on page 2201), you specify whether the contract applies to upstream traffic (from the client to the controller) or downstream traffic (from the controller to the client). You can also specify whether the contract applies to all users in a specified user role or per-user in a user role. When you apply a bandwidth contract to a VLAN (see interface vlan on page 475), the contract limits multicast traffic and does not affect other data. This is useful because an AP can only send multicast traffic at the rate of the slowest associated client. Thus excessive multicast traffic will fill the buffers of the AP, causing frame loss and poor voice quality. Generally, every system should have a bandwidth contract of 1 Mbps or even 700 Kbps and it should be applied to all VLANs with which users are associated, especially those VLANs that pass through the upstream router. The exception are VLANs that are used for high speed multicasts, where the SSID is configured without low data rates. Example The following commands configure a set of bandwidth contracts, then apply those contracts to all upstream and downstream traffic except for the echo, icmp, iperf, icmp6, and synflood applications, and the web, streaming, peer-to-peer, unified-communication, and tunneling application categories.
