Bandwidth Management settings

When you create or edit a policy, you can configure the bandwidth usage for devices. You can configure devices to use reduced bandwidth, or all available bandwidth. You can also configure the upload and download rates and specify proxy settings. The Bandwidth Management settings include optional advanced settings.

The lock icon that displays to the right of some settings is a toggle you can turn on and off. The icon indicates whether end users can modify the policy setting in the client interface. When the icon displays as locked, end users cannot modify the setting. When the icon displays as unlocked, end users can modify the setting.
