| Configuring the WSM using Device Manager |

Up to 64 bandwidth policies can be defined for the Web Switching Module. A BWM policy establishes bandwidth limitations for a set of frames that specifies guaranteed bandwidth rates. A bandwidth policy is often based on a rate structure in which a Web host or co-location provider charges a customer for bandwidth utilization. Bandwidth is configured at one of three rates:
A queue depth associated with the policy establishes the size of the queue that holds the BWM data. It can be adjusted to accommodate delay-sensitive traffic (such as audio) versus drop-sensitive traffic (such as FTP).
Bandwidth limits are usually entered in Mbps. For better granularity, rates can be entered in Kbps by appending "K" to the entered number. For example, 1 Mbps can be entered as either "1" or as "1024k."
