Table 21 Resource Warnings
If any of the resource warnings are due to the agent versions running on
your devices then you can use Tools > Agent Update to find and update
all devices whose agent software version is out of date.
If you proceed with the configuration without resolving the resource
warnings then the reduced configuration that is applied to your network
may not be capable of performing any complex classification. If this is the
case then you will effectively have no traffic prioritization in your
network.
Resource Warning Content Explanation (if appropriate)
The type of devices that are
affected by this problem
A description of the problem If the problem is resource related then a
percentage indication will be given of the
attempted resource usage.
A list of all devices that are
affected by this problem
Details of the problem If the problem is resource related then the
percentage resource requirements of each
server and application selected for prioritization
or blocking will be shown.
The reduced configuration that
will be applied if the problem is
not resolved
In many cases the reduced configuration will be
equivalent to treating the affected devices as if
they were not capable of complex
configuration. If you were to proceed with the
configuration without resolving the resource
warnings, these devices would only be able to
perform traffic prioritization if the traffic had
first passed through a device that had been
configured to perform complex classification
and marking.
A suggested resolution to the
problem
If the problem is resource related then it can be
resolved by reducing the complexity of the
configuration. If the problem is due to the
agent version then it can be resolved by
updating the agent to at least the minimum
agent version suggested in the warning.
