How to to set bandwidth limit for each host/node in proxmox?

Example: I have a host which is having around 20 VMs. For the total host I want to set the bandwidth limit of 200 mbps, How can It be done?

Thanks.

Thanks for your response. After doing the required changes, any service restart required?

No, not need restart/start any service

how do we limit download and upload only specific VM ?

 

[Moayad]

You can set the limit in a specific VM by going to the PVE Web UI -> VM -> Hardware, then edit the Network Device, make sure to check on 'Advanced' check box then you will see the Rate Limit (MB/s):


EDIT: for the CT (contianer) is the same step by going PVE web UI -> CT -> Network tab

rate limit means upload and download are the same value? how do we set upload 10 and download 100 ?

no,

how do we set upload 10 and download 100 ?

in this case, you have to set that in a firewall/switch side

 

[n0bie]

assume we set value 10. it means we get 10Mb/s right for both upload and download?

 

[Moayad]

yes

yes

So is this setting "Rate Limit (MB/s)" on Network Device Advanced Settings about megabits or megabytes?
