Note: The Software Rate Shaping, Hardware Rate Shaping, and Quality of Service (QoS) features are mutually exclusive; that is, you can use only one of these features at any given time.
-
Create New Rule yes/no
button:
Creates a new hardware rate shaping rule for configuration. When you click the
yes button, then click the Apply button, seven fields display
for configuration: Name, Source/MaskLen, Dest/MaskLen, IPproto, Rate
Queue, SPort/Mask, and DPort/Mask.
-
Default: no
-
Edit Mode on/off button:
Enables/Disables editing of fields for an existing hardware rate shaping rule.
-
Default: off
-
Apply button:
Applies the parameters on the current page to the running system.
-
Rate Queue Configuration link:
Clicking on this link takes you to the hardware Rate Shaping Queues page.
-
Name (no space) field:
A logical name for the hardware rate shaping rule.
-
Range: Alphanumeric characters (no spaces)
-
Source/MaskLen field:
The source IP address and (optional) mask length.
-
Example: 192.45.20.45/24
-
Dest/MaskLen field:
The destination IP address and (optional) mask length.
-
Example: 192.45.20.50/24
-
IPproto field:
The IP protocol of the hardware rate shaping queue this rule is to be associated with.
-
Options: TCP, UDP
-
Rate Queue field:
The name of the hardware rate shaping queue this rule is to be associated with.
-
SPort/Mask field:
The TCP/UDP source port and mask of the hardware rate shaping queue this rule is
to be associated with.
-
DPort/Mask field:
The TCP/UDP destination port and mask of the hardware rate shaping queue this rule is
to be associated with.
-
Existing rules field:
Displays parameters for a previously-created hardware rate shaping rule.
-
Name field:
Displays the name of the hardware rate shaping rule.
-
Active field:
Displays whether the hardware rate shaping rule is enabled/disabled.
-
Queue field:
Displays the hardware rate shaping queue the rule is associated with.
-
Bandwidth(Kbps) field:
Displays the bandwidth allocated to an existing hardware rate shaping queue. Values are rounded to 64K blocks.
-
Src/Mask field:
Displays the source IP address and mask for an existing hardware rate shaping queue.
-
SPort/Mask field:
Displays the TCP/UDP source port for an existing hardware rate shaping rule.
-
Dest/Mask field:
Displays the destination IP address and mask for an existing hardware rate shaping rule.
-
DPort/Mask field:
Displays the TCP/UDP destination port for an existing hardware rate shaping rule.
-
IPproto field:
Displays whether the IP protocol is TCP or UDP for an existing hardware rate shaping rule.
-
Order field:
Displays the priority order for the existing hardware rate shaping rule. Rule order is global. You should specify rules so that a more specific rule has a lower rule
order (that is, a higher priority) than a more general rule.
