   Note -

   If you are using Solaris Bandwidth Manager in IP-transparent mode, stopping the Solaris Bandwidth Manager policy agent prevents any network traffic being forwarded by the system. To stop bandwidth management without stopping all network traffic, change the configuration so that the interface is in stats mode and restart the Solaris Bandwidth Manager policy agent.
