20 QoS
20.1 User Groups
LAN and PPTP clients can be categorized into three user groups: Manager, Staff, and Guest .
This menu allows you to define rules and assign client IP addresses or subnets to a user group.
You can apply different bandwidth and traffic prioritization policies on each user group in
the Bandwidth Control and Application sections (note that the options available here vary by
model).
The table is automatically sorted by rule precedence. The smaller and more specific subnets are
put towards the top of the table and have higher precedence; larger and less specific subnets
are placed towards the bottom.
Click the Add button to define clients and their user group. Click the button to remove the
defined rule. Two default rules are pre-defined and put at the bottom. They are All DHCP
reservation clients and Everyone , and they cannot be removed. The All DHCP reservation
client represents the LAN clients defined in the DHCP Reservation table on the LAN settings
page. Everyone represents all clients that are not defined in any rule above. Click on a rule to
change its group.
From the drop-down menu, choose whether you are going to define the
client(s) by an IP Address or a Subnet . If IP Address is selected, enter a
name defined in DHCP reservation table or a LAN client's IP
address. If Subnet is selected, enter a subnet address and specify its subnet
mask.
Once users have been assigned to a user group, their internet traffic will be restricted by rules
defined for that particular group. Please refer to the following two sections for details.
