Traffic Shapping SD WAN & WiFI

[Ktparry85]

Hi,

im just wanting to check something before i make changes to my setup, you have traffic shaping in SD WAN and Wireless so my question is as follows

if i set an SSID to have 10mps per client and then i go on my SD Wan and set it to be 2mbps will the SD Wan rule over rule the wireless SSID rule or is the SD Wan rule just for wired only clients?

Thanks

It depends, is the MX the gateway for WIFI networks? If so, whatever is configured in the MX will prevail since it is the one that forwards traffic to the internet.

But why would you have traffic shaping configured on both? What would be the purpose?

yes the mx is the gateway so the SD Wan setting will prevail which is what i thought would happen.

i havent set this some 3rd party company did, i just wanted to make sure what that the SD WAN would be the prevailing rule before i corrected it.

Thanks

The SSID rule will apply the restriction on the AP itself. So the client will have a max 10Mbps communication to anything else in the network, including other devices on the layer 2 network.

The Traffic Shaping SD WAN rule applies on the MX. So this will impact any traffic from that client that traverses the MX - primarily traffic bound for remote SD-WAN sites, internet or across layer 3 boundaries (design dependent of course)
