Managing site communications
For site-to-site data communications CM12 will use as much bandwidth as possible to transfer files. In most environments, this default setting may be acceptable. In environments with site systems in remote locations over slow WAN links, we may want to throttle bandwidth utilization.
Getting ready
In order to configure bandwidth throttling, we must have at least two different site systems. This could be Primary Site to Secondary Site, Primary Site to Distribution Point, CAS to Primary Site, and so on.
How to do it...
To configure bandwidth throttling between site servers, follow these steps:
Navigate to Administration | Overview | Hierarchy Configuration | Addresses, select the desired source and destination site, and choose Properties.
Use the Schedule tab to specify when data can be sent to the destination, based on priority. Each type of content (such as package, application, and image) has a configurable priority.
Use the Rate Limits tab to control how the data is...
