Group policy

[Jmccandles]

While creating Group policy in Cisco Meraki, the option Bandwidth value refers to entire users in a Group policy X, or is it on per user basis.

It is a per-client bandwidth limit

@BrashThanks it is per user b/w shaping, is there any provision for allowing bulk hosts bounded in a Group Police X Mbs so the the all the users will have to share X B/W (users assigned to the policy).

If you apply it to a user - then it is per user.

If you apply it to a VLAN, then it applies as a whole to the VLAN and users in that VLAN will share that limit between themselves.

[Brash]

Is that correct?

I've never tested but I always assumed that for group policies applied to a VLAN, the bandwidth limit is just applied to each client in that VLAN, not split between the clients.

I can't find any official doc that explains the expected behaviour, only blogs posts and Reddit articles which have people in both camps 😅
