Internet Traffic Limit per VLAN?

Is there a way to setup VLAN's to each have their own bandwidth limit for internet access? I want to be able to section off our internet capacity by VLAN but leave their internal speed limit uncapped. Is that possible? And if so, how?

You can create group policies and apply them directly on the VLAN interface.

Does that apply the policy to each device?

 

What I am looking for is not a per device limit, but a limit on the whole VLAN. that way if there is only 1 client it can have the whole thing, or if there are 100 devices, then they can share.

Nope, you can apply it by VLAN.

The limit is for each device in that vlan.

There is no limit per vlan

Global Bandwidth Limit Consideration

Traffic shaping rules can be useful in limiting the amount of bandwidth that various applications and traffic types consume.  Global limits can also be used to enforce bandwidth limits on a per device basis.  A global bandwidth limit applies not only to outbound traffic, but all routed traffic on an MX security appliance or MR access point unless overridden by other configuration settings.  This knowledge base article will describe certain considerations that should be taken into account when configuring the global bandwidth limit and how to use traffic shaping rules to override the global bandwidth limit when necessary.

Just seconding @ww 

When applied to a vlan, the group policy is applied to each device within that vlan. Therefore the limit would be per device.

I'm not aware of any way to limit across the vlan as a whole.
