2. Select a bandwidth policy. Each policy must have a number from 1 to 512.
3. Set the hard, soft, and reserved rate limits for this policy in kilobytes.
4. Set a parameter between 8192 and 128000 bytes. The buffer depth for a BWM contract should
be set to a multiple of the packet size.
5. On Alteon, select a BWM contract and name the contract. Each contract must have a unique
number from 1 to 1024.
6. Set the bandwidth policy for the contract. Each BWM contract must be assigned a bandwidth
policy.
7. Enable the BWM contract.
8. Create a filter that will be used to classify the frames for this contract and assign the BWM
contract to the filter.
The classification rule for this BWM contract is based on a filter configured to match ICMP traffic.
The contract will be applied to any frames that match this filter.
