Quotas and multiple hosts per user
Posted: Fri Jun 17, 2011 2:19 am
My boys each have a notebook and an Ipod
I want to be able to limit their download/upload usage to around 7GB each per month.
I'm a bit confused as to the limit rules in quota
I have NBs as 192.168.1.5x and ipods as 192.168.1.6x ( so .53 and .63 are the same lads equipment )
So in a quota rule if I have:
"Only the following hosts"
192.168.51
192.168.61
"Limit max upload/download" to 7GB
"per month"
Does this acutally means that they'll get 7GB per device or 7GB between the two hosts ?? I'm guessing it's the former.
If that's the case is it possible to share a bandwidth quote between two devices cumatively ???
It's a bit hard to break individual usage up per device as each boy uses them differently so an accumalative quota for the two devices would be ideal .
With thanks in advanced.
