Bandwidth Classification and Allocation

The Bandwidth Classification and Allocation feature provides visibility into the inbound and outbound WAN traffic on your Cloud Connector including how it is allocated and utilized by different traffic types. This allows administrators to monitor network demand in real time, identify bandwidth bottlenecks, and adjust allocations to ensure high-priority traffic is always served.

Bandwidth to and from the Cloud Connector can be classified into three separate traffic classes:
  • Control Channel: Traffic generated by the platform itself (e.g., services, agent, logger, system processes). This is critical for system health and connectivity. By default, the control channel allocation is fixed at 20% of available bandwidth.
  • User Apps: Traffic for user-deployed applications on the Cloud Connector. This class is adjustable and usually allotted a significant share.
  • Device Connections: All other LAN forwarded device-to-device traffic moving through the Cloud Connector.
You may allocate bandwidth between User Apps and Device Connections in 10% increments; the Control Channel remains at its fixed minimum to maintain platform reliability. The sum of all allocations always equals 100%.

Understanding the Bandwidth Distribution Graph

The bandwidth distribution graph is found on the Cloud Connector's Network tab when you select a WAN interface. The chart title and supporting text dynamically indicate when any class has reached a critical threshold. The main visualization is a two-ring donut chart:
  • Outer Ring: Shows real-time usage of bandwidth within each class.
  • Inner Ring: Illustrates the allocated bandwidth for each class as a segment of the total.
Hovering over any segment lets you see:
  • The traffic class type
  • The current data usage
  • The configured or default allocation as a percentage of total bandwidth
  • The percentage of allocation used in real time
  • The transmit (Tx) packet drop counts
  • The receive (Rx) packet drop counts

Note:

If a class exceeds its allocation noted as reaching 100%, traffic from this class may experience packet drops. These drops are shown in the chart’s tooltip (Tx or Rx drop fields).
Configure WAN Bandwidth Allocation

You can configure the allocation of certain traffic classes on the Cloud Connector.

This procedure ensures a reserved amount of bandwidth on the chosen WAN connection for the traffic type. You can review the Bandwidth Distribution Graph on the Overview tab to learn if a traffic classification is experiencing packet drops and adjust as necessary back on this page.

Dual SIM Charts

When a Cloud Connector starts up with both SIMs inserted in the system and the active (in-use) SIM changes, the Network tab's graphs display these changeover events for clear tracking.

Cellular Bandwidth Usage

This chart illustrates how the computer’s cellular bandwidth usage relates to changes in the active SIM card over time. The vertical dashed lines superimposed on the chart mark the specific moments when the preferred SIM slot switches—green lines indicate when SIM 1 becomes active, and red lines indicate when SIM 2 takes precedence. By aligning these switchover points with ongoing bandwidth and packet rate trends, users can clearly see when and how often the device transitions between SIM cards during network activity.

Figure 7-1 SIM Change in the Cellular Bandwidth Usage chart


Line chart showing cellular bandwidth and packet rates over time, with vertical dashed lines indicating SIM card switches between SIM 1 (green) and SIM 2 (red); no significant changes in bandwidth or packet rates during SIM transitions

These SIM switching indicators provide valuable context for troubleshooting and analyzing connectivity. For example, if users observe performance issues or connectivity drops, the SIM switch markers help pinpoint whether these issues coincide with changes in the active SIM. In this particular chart, there is no noticeable impact on bandwidth or packet rates at the moments of SIM card changeover, demonstrating that the device handles the transitions smoothly without interrupting ongoing network activity.

SIM Tracking in the Cellular MNO Usage Chart

This chart illustrates mobile data usage as reported by the mobile network operator for each SIM card installed in the device. The two colored lines represent daily data consumption for each SIM, providing a visual overview of how usage varies over time depending on which SIM is active or being used for data traffic.

Figure 7-2 SIM Change in the MNO Usage Chart


Line chart showing daily mobile data usage for two SIM cards, with one line representing SIM1 (AT&T) and another for SIM2 (Vodafone), highlighting variations and a spike in SIM2 data usage over a six-day period in June 2025.

This type of visualization helps users better understand and track data consumption patterns across multiple providers. By reviewing these trends, users can identify which SIM is responsible for higher usage, evaluate the effectiveness of network switching strategies, and troubleshoot issues related to data consumption. This information can also assist with managing data plan allocations and keeping track of carrier-specific network performance.

Network Interface Architecture

The system's internal network is designed with a simplified architecture to ensure seamless connectivity for users. Here are the key components:

  • Bridged LAN and WiFi—All LAN-facing Ethernet ports and WiFi ports are configured in a bridge, creating a unified network. This means they share the same IP address, typically 192.168.0.1, forming a single LAN network. Users have the flexibility to change this IP address if needed.
  • DHCP Server—The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server is set up to assign IP addresses to devices connected within the bridge. It manages IP addresses for the entire bridged network.
  • Firewall—The firewall is configured for inbound traffic filtering, securing both the LAN and WAN sides of the network. It ensures that incoming traffic adheres to defined security rules.
  • Proxy Settings—Proxy configurations are applied at the system level, meaning they are system-wide and not specific to individual interfaces. This ensures consistent network behavior.

Network Interface Actions

The Oracle Cloud Connector can provides multiple network interfaces to support business applications. The variety of network interfaces have unique attributes and settings tailored to their role in LAN or WAN environments and to the specific media layer they operate on. Therefore, depending on the interface you choose to review statistics on or make changes to, the Oracle ECP will reveal only the contextually relevant values and options.

The following is a collection of all actions you can perform for network interfaces. They appear as configuration drawers on the cloud UI. Not every following procedure is applicable to every network interface type. Refer to each interface type's Review and Configuration page to learn which drawer is an option.

Depending on the Cloud Connector models in your network, you will have different numbers of identical interfaces to support different loads from a single Cloud Connector. Refer to the hardware guide for more information.

Edit LAN DHCP or Static IP Values

You can configure the Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) server settings on a Cloud Connector's LAN interfaces. These are generally the Wi-Fi interfaces and properly assigned Ethernet ports.

Before You Begin
  • Determine the LAN interface you want to configure DHCP on. name of a Cloud Connector with a configured Wi-Fi interface so that you can access the Edge Node Details page to edit the DHCP server settings.
  • All interfaces share the same DHCP server, so you only need to set it once per Cloud Connector.
  1. From the Edge Node Details page, click the Network tab.
  2. Choose a WAN interface from the the Interface drop down menu.
    Valid LAN devices are WiFi-2.4GHz, WiFi-5GHz, LAN1, and LAN2.
  3. Select Manage Addresses.
    The Manage Addresses drawer opens.
  4. You may now configure the essential values for this DHCP server.
    • Edge DHCP server IP address - The IP address on the LAN that each remote device connects with to obtain its IP address.
    • Subnet Mask - The subnet portion used to define the network where DHCP services are available.
    • DHCP start address - The starting address in the range of DHCP server addresses.
    • DHCP end address - The ending address in the range of DHCP server addresses.
  5. You can continue to configure a Static IP address range on this LAN.
    • Static IP Address - The IP address on the LAN used with the subnet mask to define the network where static IP addresses are available.
    • Static Subnet Mask - The subnet portion used to define the network where static IP addresses are available.
    • Static Start Address - The starting address in the range of static IP addresses.
    • Static End Address - The starting address in the range of static IP addresses.
  6. Click Save to save any changes.
Prioritize Internet (WAN) Interfaces

You can set the preference for which of the available Internet-facing Wide Area Network (WAN) interfaces a Cloud Connector uses for its outbound connectivity.

About this Task

The Oracle Cloud Connector provides 3 distinct connection types for communicating with the internet and ultimately back to the Oracle ECP cloud service. These types are the terrestrial mobile/cellular network, satellite connectivity, or fixed wireline/broadband. You can set the order which a cloud connector will choose to connect with. If the highest priority source of Internet access is disabled or becomes unavailable, the Internet preference level indicates the order in which the platform uses each WAN-facing interface connection for Internet access.

Before You Begin The preference levels are for WAN interfaces are:
  • Primary
  • Secondary
  • Tertiary
The default values are set at onboarding time. The mechanism to set interface priority is by ordering interface type to the preference level on the Internet Preferences drawer. When the highest available interface becomes unavailable, then that Cloud Connector fails over to use the next available interface for its internet connectivity.
  1. From the Edge Node Details page, click the Network tab.
  2. Choose a WAN interface from the Interface drop down menu.
    Valid WAN devices are Satellite, Cellular, or Broadband. On the Network tab they are listed as Cellular, Satellite-WAN2, and Broadband-WAN1.
  3. Select Internet Preferences.
    The Internet Preferences drawer opens.
  4. Drag the “swap” symbol (==) corresponding to an interface to the correct preference level position.
  5. Click Update when complete.
You can check the Active internet connection by reviewing the left-side Cloud Connector overview.
Update Firewall Settings

You can configure firewall settings on appropriate Cloud Connector interfaces by working in the Edit Firewall option available on the Action menu.

Before You Begin
  • Identify the Cloud Connector that requires firewall setting updates by name so you can select the appropriate hardware on the Edge Nodes Inventory page.
  • Inspect the firewall configuration items currently set to determine whether you need to remove or add firewall configuration rows.
Context

To choose the appropriate protocol and the port to open using firewall settings, you must understand the nature of the traffic that the firewall needs block or admit. For example, DNS lookup traffic could require the speed benefits of using a User Datagram Protocol (UDP) connection to support faster transmission for a time-sensitive DNS server.

Procedure
  1. Start from a selected Edge Node details page, and click the Network tab.
  2. Choose the interface from the drop-down where you will configure the firewall.
  3. Select the More Action drop-down and select Edit Firewall.
  4. Delete or Edit a firewall entry to address your use case.
    • Remove any previously specified firewall setting rows that should no longer be applied to the firewall configuration by clicking the trash can icon on the associated row.
    • Add a new firewall setting row by clicking Add setting, then click the Protocol drop-down to choose Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) or User Datagram Protocol (UDP) as the protocol.
    • Click Open Port to specify a port number between 1 and 65,535 to open to support the desired firewall operation.
    • Repeat the preceding three steps if you need to remove and add multiple firewall setting rows to address firewall configuration for multiple types of traffic on the network interface.
    • Click the check mark to process the protocol and port changes. The new row displays at the bottom of the drawer.
  5. Click Update to save the firewall settings for the selected network interface.
Check Cloud Connector Interface Proxy and No Proxy

The Cloud Connector has a provision to include and/or exclude traffic destined for certain hosts by using standard proxy/noproxy provisions.

If your local network requires a destination proxy as an intermediary between networks, you can specify the details in the Cloud Connector UI. Likewise, you can configure a noproxy address (or address pattern) to specify exceptions for proxy usage.

Note:

You cannot change Proxy settings on an onboarded Cloud Connector. You must deboard the Cloud Connector and edit the proxy values from the local UI.

Check a Cloud Connector's proxy settings

Although a Cloud Connector's proxy settings must be completed prior to activation, they can be reviewed from the Network tab of a Cloud Connector's details page.
  1. From the Network tab, choose the interface whose proxy you want to check.
  2. From the More Actions drop-down, choose View Proxy.
  3. The Proxy Settings drawer expands revealing the proxy information.

Edge Nodes Details Page - Devices Tab

The Devices tab provides information about LAN and USB devices that are connected to an edge node. Use this tab to view device activity, search and filter the device inventory, manage LAN devices, and block or unblock USB devices.

The following controls and actions are unique to the Devices tab.

For USB devices, the available filter is:

  • Status: Filters devices by status, such as blocked, auto-blocked, system-blocked, connected, or disconnected.

Actions

The actions available on the Devices tab depend on the selected device type.

For LAN devices, use Manage Devices to manage devices detected by the edge node. From the Manage Devices drawer, you can block a device by MAC address or assign a static IP address to an onboarded device when the device MAC address is included during onboarding. You can also unblock a LAN device by removing the row from the table or by unchecking the checkbox.

For USB devices, use the available block or unblock actions for the visible USB devices.

LAN-connected Device Management

LAN-connected device management includes the functions used to manage devices detected by an edge node on a LAN interface. You can assign static IP addresses to LAN-connected devices and block devices by MAC address.

Assigning a static IP address reserves an IP address for a LAN-connected device. To assign a static IP address, the device must be onboarded into Oracle ECP with a matching MAC address, and the selected address must come from the configured static IP range (configured in a LAN-Facing Ethernet Interface or Wi-Fi Interface).

Blocking a device by MAC address prevents a LAN-connected device from using the edge node for connectivity. You can block a device that is already detected by the edge node, or you can manually add a MAC address to block a device.

Both functions are available from the same Manage Devices drawer. Open the drawer from the Network tab when a LAN interface is selected, or from the Devices tab when LAN device is selected.

Assign a Static IP Address to a LAN-Connected Device

Assign a static IP address to a LAN-connected device from the Manage Devices drawer.

Context:

You can assign a static IP address only to a device detected on the edge node LAN. The device can be either onboarded in Oracle ECP or unmanaged.

Prerequisites:
  • Access to the device's MAC address.
  • A static IP range must be configured on this Cloud Connector before you can assign a static IP address to a device. (See Edit LAN DHCP or Static IP Values)
