Set a limit on the bandwidth usage by clients
Sometimes, servers might have limited bandwidth to handle client requests and might become overloaded. To prevent overloading a server, you can specify a maximum limit on the bandwidth, in Kbps, processed by the server. The NetScaler appliance forwards requests to a load balanced server only until this limit is reached.
To set a maximum bandwidth limit on a service by using the CLI
At the command prompt, type:
set service <name> -maxBandwidth <Value>
Example:
set service Service-HTTP-1 -maxBandwidth 100
To set a maximum bandwidth limit on a service by using the GUI
-
Navigate to Traffic Management > Load Balancing > Services, and open a service.
-
In Advanced Settings, select Thresholds & Timeouts, and select Maximum Bandwidth.
