19.1.1 User Groups
(Available on Peplink Balance 305/380+ and MediaFast 200+)
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.
The table is automatically sorted, and the table order signifies the rules' 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 bottommost. They are
All DHCP reservation
clients
and
Everyone
, and they cannot be removed. The
All DHCP reservation client represents
the
LAN clients defined in the DHCP Reservation table in the LAN settings page.
Everyone
represents all
clients that are not defined in any rule above. Click on a rule to change its group.
Add / Edit User Group

mask.

Once users have been assigned to a user group, their internet traffic will be restricted by rules defined for
