Configuring BWM in a Security Rule Action

BWM must be enabled on OBJECT | Actions > Security Rule | Bandwidth/QoS first, as described in Configuring Bandwidth Management.

You can configure BWM in each Security Action Rule. This method configures the direction in which to apply BWM and sets the priority queue.

Before you can configure any priorities in a Security Action Rule, you must first enable the traffic priorities that you want to use on the OBJECT | Profiles > Bandwidth page. Refer to this page to determine which priorities are enabled. If you select a Traffic Priority that is not enabled on the OBJECT | Profiles > Bandwidth page, the traffic is automatically mapped to priority 4 Medium. See Configuring Bandwidth Management.

Priorities are listed in the Bandwidth Object Settings dialog.

To configure BWM in a Security Rule

1. Navigate to the OBJECT | Actions > Security Rule page.

2. Click the Edit icon for the rule you want to edit. The Edit Security Rule Action dialog displays.

   

3. Determine the Bandwidth Aggregation Method, whether to aggregate Per Policy, or Per Action.

4. Select either or both Enable Egress Bandwidth Management and Enable Ingress Bandwidth Management. These options are not selected by default.

5. Select a Bandwidth Object for Ingress or Egress from the drop-down menus.
6. Click Enable Tracking Bandwidth Usage.

7. Click Save.

8. Navigate to OBJECT | Profiles > Bandwidth. See Bandwidth Profiles.
