Description
This article describes how to enable and apply Traffic Shaping under Firewall Policy.
Starting from FortiOS 5.6, the option is not available on the GUI by default and it has to be configured using CLI every time it is needed to be configured under the Firewall Policy.
Scope
FortiGate.
Solution
Run the following commands in the CLI to enable Traffic Shaping:
set traffic-shaper <shaper name>
set reverse-traffic-shaper <shaper name>
end
The above steps must be completed on every firewall policy to apply Traffic Shaping.
