User Group
LAN and PPTP clients can be categorized into three user groups:
Manager, Staff, and Guest
. This
menu allows you to define rules and assign client IP addresses or subnets to a user group. You
can apply different bandwidth and traffic prioritization policies on each user group in
the
Bandwidth Control
and
Application
sections (note that the options available here vary by
model).
The table is automatically sorted by rule precedence. The smaller and more specific subnets are
put towards the top of the table and have higher precedence; larger and less specific subnets are
placed towards the bottom.
Click the
Add
button to define clients and their user group. Click the
button to remove the
defined rule. Two default rules are pre-defined and put at the bottom. They are
All DHCP
reservation clients
and
Everyone

clientrepresents
the LAN clients defined in theDHCP Reservationtable on the LAN settings
page.
Everyone
represents all clients that are not defined in any rule above.Click on a rule to
change its group.
