BM-2010A / BM-2100 Bandwidth Manager User’s Manual
Chapter 1：Introduction
Business-critical and time-sensitive applications such as VoIP or transaction processing need guaranteed
bandwidth. PLANET’s new 10Mbps and 100Mbps Bandwidth Managers, the BM-2010A and BM-2100, offer
network administrators an easy yet powerful means to allocate network resources based on business
priorities, and to shape, analyze and control bandwidth usage. Expensive WAN resources are more
effectively utilized, avoiding the need for costly upgrades while still meeting business priorities.
The PLANET BM-2010A and BM-2100 are simple to install, with two 10/100Mbps Ethernet port for connecting
to the local network and the WAN router respectively. A 16x2 character LCD panel makes installation and
maintenance easier and more efficient. For bandwidth management, packets can be classified based on IP
address, IP subnet and TCP/UDP port number. The device has more than 20 of the most common protocols
such as H.323, Oracle, HTTP, FTP, etc. for ease of definition; the administrator can then define policies to
ensure committed and maximum bandwidth levels for inbound / outbound traffic in each class. The
administrator can also define three priority levels for each policy to ensure that high priority packets receive
the maximum available bandwidth. In addition, each policy can have a schedule defined for when the policy
is activated or inactivated in increments of 5 minutes.
The BM-2010A and BM-2100 also enable administrators to effectively measure traffic on the network and
provide comprehensive graphical reports about how bandwidth is being used. The administrator can view
each internal host’s inbound and outbound traffic or each network service’s inbound and outbound traffic. The
BM-2010A and BM-2100 also provide a graphical report for either the top ten internal hosts or services that
generate traffic. A free utility, Bandwidth Analyzer, is also provided to help you make further analysis of the
bandwidth usage. This reporting system helps administrators quickly understand and reallocate bandwidth
usage to an optimized level and make best use of the limited and expensive Wide-area network bandwidth.
For uninterrupted Internet access, the BM-2010A and BM-2100 also provide an in-box bypass function to
keep your Internet service available.

Chapter 2：Hardware Installation
2.1 Installation Requirements
Before installing the Bandwidth Manager, make sure your network meets the following requirements.
- Mechanical Requirements
The Bandwidth Manager is to be installed between your router and local area network. The Bandwidth
Manager can be placed on the table or rack. Locate the unit near the power outlet.
- Electrical Requirements
The Bandwidth Manager is powered from 100/240 VAC. A standard IEC connector is used for the power
cable. Follow all applicable electrical codes. Frame ground should be tied to a common grounding point
using #18AWG cable.
NOTE: The Bandwidth Manager is a power-required device, it means, the Bandwidth Manager will not
work until it is powered. If your networked PCs will need to transmit data all the time, please
consider use an UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) for your Bandwidth Manager. It will prevent
you from network data loss. In some area, installing a surge suppression device may also help to
protect your Bandwidth Manager from being damaged by unregulated surge or current to the
Bandwidth Manager.
- Network Requirements
In order for Bandwidth Manager to manage traffic, the traffic must pass through Bandwidth Manager at a
useful point in a network. In most situations, the bandwidth manager should be placed behind the Internet
connection router.
This deployment allows the network administers to control all bandwidth based on business priorities and
give business-critical and time-sensitive applications guarantee bandwidth and higher priority.
Business-critical applications can receive maximum performance while other less urgent traffic is still
available on remaining bandwidth. Bandwidth Manager also provides comprehensive reporting functions to
help monitor network and bandwidth usage and allow adjustment of the bandwidth management policies
accordingly.
The Bandwidth Manager provides two 10/100Base-TX port for connecting to WAN (external) and LAN
(internal) side. The network ports are both MDI (media dependent interface) port. Please use straight
Category 5 UTP Ethernet cable to connect the network port to switch, hub or other devices with MDI-X
interface and use cross-over cable to connect the network port to router, DSL/Cable modem or other
devices with MDI interface.
2.2 Install Bandwidth Manager to Your Network
- Choose an Installation Site
Select a suitable place on the network to install the Bandwidth Manager.
- Connect LAN Cables
Use standard LAN cables to connect your LAN side Switch or Hub to the LAN ports on Bandwidth Manager.
Both 10Base-T and 100Base-T connections can be used. The LAN and WAN port of bandwidth manager
support Auto-Negotiation to connect with best speed and duplex mode. The LAN port of Bandwidth
- 8 -
BM-2010A / BM-2100 Bandwidth Manager User’s Manual
Manager is MDI port. Thus, you can just use straight network to connect the LAN port to your switch or
hub.
- Connect WAN Cable
Connect the router, DSL or Cable modem to the WAN port on Bandwidth Manager. The LAN and WAN port
of Bandwidth Manager are both MDI port. Thus, in some case, you may need to use cross-over cable to
connect your router, DSL or cable modem.
- Power Up
Connect the supplied power cord to Bandwidth Manager and use the power switch that in rear panel to turn
on the Bandwidth Manager. Use only the power cord provided. Using a different one may cause hardware
damage.
NOTE: Once you power on the Bandwidth Manager, it will start to beep indicated it is on by-pass mode.
This is normal and when the system stop to beep, the system booting is completed.
- Check the LEDs
The PWR LED should be ON. The STATUS LED should flash for about 1 to 2 minutes, then turn Off. This
LED will also flash when is reading data from the memory. Both the WAN and LAN’s LNK LED should be
on. If one of the LED is off, please check the network connection. In some case, you may need to use
cross-over cable to connect the LAN or WAN port to your networks.

policy will be the first policy to check and so on. When the Bandwidth Manager find a policy fit to the
- 22 -
BM-2010A / BM-2100 Bandwidth Manager User’s Manual
packet, it will stop the checking and apply the guarantee bandwidth, burst bandwidth and priority to the
packet. Thus, always put mission-critical traffic policy in the front to get higher performance.
♦ Internal Host: The internal host that you want to manage. You have to first define the internal host on
host catalog.
♦ External Host: The destination host that you want to manage. You have to first define the external host
on host catalog. You can build an external host if the Bandwidth Manager is deployed in a LAN to LAN
(VPN, Wireless, G.SHDSL, etc) network environment.
♦ Service: The service that you want to manage. The services must be defined on the service catalog.
♦ Guarantee: Assign guaranteed bandwidth in kbps to this policy. This is the minimum bandwidth that the
policy guarantees. The sum of all guarantee bandwidth should not exceed the inbound and outbound
bandwidth settings on chapter 4.1.3.
♦ Burst: This policy’s maximum bandwidth may be used. This is the maximum bandwidth that the policy
can use.

4.2.2 Protection
The Bandwidth Manager provides extended capabilities for filtering out any malicious attacks based on TCP,
UDP, or ICMP protocols. This greatly improves the security of your bandwidth, and guarantees that such
attacks will not disrupt the normal operation of your systems. While filtering out detected malicious traffic, your
network will be able to operate normally.
♦ Deny SYN Flood: TCP SYN Flood is one kind of attack that an attacker makes connection requests
aimed at the victim device with packets with unreachable source addresses. The device is not able to
complete the connection requests and, as a result, the device wastes all of its network resources,
resulting in shutting down a device. By defining a SYN attack threshold, the bandwidth manager allows
only the certain number of packets with unreachable source addresses each second.
♦ UDP Flood Attack: UDP is a connectionless protocol and it does not require any connection setup
procedure to transfer data. An UDP Flood Attack is possible when an attacker sends a UDP packet to a
random port on the victim device. When the victim device receives an UDP packet, it will determine what
application is waiting on the destination port. When it realizes that there is no application that is waiting
on the port, it will generate an ICMP packet of destination unreachable to the forged source address. If
enough UDP packets are delivered to ports on victim, the device will go down. By defining a UDP flood
threshold, the bandwidth manager allows only the certain number of destination unreachable UDP
packets each second.
♦ ICMP Flood Attack: An ICMP flood is usually accomplished by broadcasting either a bunch of pings or
UDP packets. The idea is, to send so much data to your system, that it slows you down so much that
you're disconnected from IRC due to a ping timeout. By defining a ICMP flood attack threshold, the
bandwidth manager allows only the certain number of ICMP packets each second.
♦ Deny Port Scan: Most attackers will first scan all port of the victim to know which services are running
and then determined how to attack. Deny port scan will make hacker much hard to attack your internal
LAN.
♦ Circumventing Path MTU Discovery with MSS Clamping(for ADSL, cable, PPPoE): An Ethernet
packet provides maximum 1460 bytes payload. However, not all parts of the Internet support full 1460
bytes of payload per packet. It is therefore necessary to try and find the largest packet that will 'fit', in
order to optimize a connection. This process is called 'Path MTU Discovery', where MTU stands for
'Maximum Transfer Unit.' However, Path MTU Discovery is not always working. MSS (Maximum
- 24 -
BM-2010A / BM-2100 Bandwidth Manager User’s Manual
Segment Size) is another way to set the maximum packet size. This is a field in the TCP Options part of a
SYN packet. By enable MSS clamping, the bandwidth manager calculates the proper MSS for your link
and tell the remote side unequivocally 'do not ever try to send me packets bigger than this value'.
Enable this function if your Internet connection is ADSL or cable modem and you meet connection
problem with your ISP.
4.2.3 IP/MAC Binding Setting
