Description | This article describes an issue where network or Internet access may be disrupted for the end user when a traffic shaping policy is enabled on NP7lite devices such as the FortiGate-90G/91G. |
Scope | FortiGate. |
Solution |
On v7.2.10 and earlier, v7.4.7 and earlier, and v7.6.2 and earlier, network or Internet access may be disrupted for end users even when traffic levels do not reach the maximum bandwidth limits of the shaper. This issue occurs when a traffic shaping policy is applied to the session on NP7lite devices, such as the FortiGate-90G/91G.
Below is an example configuration of the traffic shaper and traffic shaping policy.
config firewall shaper per-ip-shaper
config firewall shaper traffic-shaper
config firewall shaping-policy
The NP7lite statistics may indicate an increase in the DCE_QTM_ENQ_DROP count when the shaping policy is enabled, regardless of whether a per-IP shaper or traffic shaper is referenced in the shaping policy.
FortiGate-90G # diagnose npu np7lite dce-eng-drop all FortiGate-90G # diagnose npu np7lite dce-eng-drop all
Workaround:
config firewall shaping-policy
This issue has been resolved in v7.2.11, v7.4.8, v7.6.3.
General debug information required by FortiGate TAC for investigation:
execute tac report
diagnose npu np7lite hif-stats
Note: The same behaviour is observed for the FortiGate-120G/121G models. |
