Bandwidth shaping

Hi all,

 

I'm currently looking for a way to limit bandwidth speed in our Meraki wifi network. We are having 50+ locations, same setup on all, two SSIDs, but the problem is that not all location have same internet link.

 

My question are, can I globally set internet speed per SSID based on % ? I want SSID-1 to use 75% of bandwidth and SSID-2 to use 25% ? 

 

Or do I need to go from location to location and set it manually per AP (Wireless > Firewall and Traffic Shaping > Choose SSID > apply traffic shaping rules) ?

 

Any other ideas are welcome!

 

Regards,

Boza

You will need to go each Firewall & traffic shaping > Traffic shaping rules > Per-SSID bandwidth limit.

 

Alternatively, you can bind your existing networks to a template and do it all in one go.

You can only configure a specified limit, not a percentage.  It can be configured per SSID.

@Boza please note that the bandwidth limit per SSID is actually per AP per SSID.

 

As an example:  You have 30x APs and they all advertise SSID 'public', if you set a limit for that SSID to 1Mbps then you could have as much as 30Mbps of traffic.

Thank you all for your help. Solution with templates that was suggested by @Bettencourt is what I was looking for!
 
@cmr thank you as well for your info, I didn't know that.
