How to edit the bandwidth configuration of network interfaces?
Why is bandwidth configuration required?
The bandwidth configuration essentially defines the maximum throughput (in Mbps, Gbps, etc.) that the link can handle. This value serves as the denominator when calculating utilization percentages.
- Rx Utilized (%) = (In Traffic/Configured bandwidth)×100
- Tx Utilized (%) = (Out Traffic/Configured bandwidth)×100
To compute these percentages, you need the value of the configured bandwidth. If the configured bandwidth is not set correctly, the percentages for Rx and Tx utilization could be misleading or incorrect.
