Configure Load Balancing for multilple Vlans

FrankDi Pasquale
Greetings - 
                   
Asking for some guidance in this configuration:
I would like to take my 50mb  uplink and partition 30mb among 3 different Vlans (Cisco switches) so that none of which can consume more than say 10 mb. Would I be able to allocate the the desired bandwidth to selected Eth ports 2-7.

                 *UTM 220 2GB ram  ver 9.211-3*


Any advice or comments appreciated.

TIA

    You can do it the way you suggest, but QoS in the UTM gives better results when you prefer some traffic rather than restrict other.  Instead of limiting VLAN11, VLAN12 and VLAN 13 to 10MB each, guarantee (Bandwidth Pool) 25MB to VLAN14 and 5MB to each of the other three VLANs.

    Cheers - Bob

    Thanks Bob for the reply. I will try that. 

    Wondering if the QoS settings are dynamic in that the pool allocation to each vlan might be able to access more than the allocated bandwidth (10mb ea) if the other vlans are not using  their full allocation?

    Bingo!  That's exactly the reason for the different approach.  The LAN you wanted to limit to 10Mb can use the full 50 Mb if no other LAN is using it.

    Cheers - Bob
