Rules for setting bandwidth values for NetBackup clients

Set bandwidths for individual clients to one of the following values:

  • 0 (no bandwidth limiting), or

  • Less than or equal to any value that is set for the IPv6 address range that contains the IP address for the client.

    For example, the following is valid:

    LIMIT_BANDWIDTH = 2001:db8:1:110:0:0:0:8b72::/64 500
    LIMIT_BANDWIDTH = 2001:db8:1:110:0:0:0:8b72::/128 300

If the bandwidth is set higher for a client than is set for the range, NetBackup ignores the individual setting. NetBackup uses the value for the range instead. In this case, the client receives a share of the bandwidth that is specified for the network.

If the bandwidth limit for a client is equal to or lower than the value for the range, the client uses the lower of the following settings:

  • Its share of the network bandwidth value.

  • Its individual bandwidth value.

The bandwidth value that NetBackup uses for a client is always at least one kilobyte per second.
