Using Virtual Matrix Architecture with BWM

Virtual Matrix Architecture (VMA) is recommended when Bandwidth Management is enabled. If the traffic classification is filter-based or SLB traffic, then the classification occurs on the designated port.

When VMA is enabled, traffic classification that is not based on filters or Server Load Balancing (SLB) is done on the ingress port--that is, the port on which the frame is received (not the client port or the server port).

When VMA is not enabled, bandwidth classification is done on the ingress side of the WSM (at the ingress port or designated port) and can be based on the following: source port, VLAN, filters, Virtual Internet Protocol (VIP) address, service on the Virtual server, URL, and so on.
