Hi,

I am experimenting with a Cisco 877 Wireless router running IOS 12.4.

I want to configure a wireless network that will be used solely for browsing the internet by clients. I'd like to be able to limit the bandwidth available to people on this network to half the bandwidth of the internet connection, up and down because I need to ensure that some bandwidth is always available to other users for business purposes.

I've added the following commands to the subinterface for this:

interface Dot11Radio0.2
description restricted wlan
encapsulation dot1Q 2
rate-limit input 1024000 1024000 1024000 conform-action transmit exceed-action drop
rate-limit output 128000 128000 128000 conform-action transmit exceed-action drop
etc etc.....

Firstly will this achieve what I want? Secondly which direction does the router view as input and output? The connection is 256/2048, I've guessed that output equates to upload and input equates to download - have I missed the mark?

TIA
