Time-based traffic policy

[monicagoodlett]

Is there a way to make time-based traffic shaper policies? Example. During working hours, I would use a limit for each ip of xx Mb. In the evening, this may / should be removed or increased by many Mb.

I want to stay away from two common traffic policies, which may be based on time.

I want to stay away from two common traffic policies, which may be based on time.

Why? Having two policies with different shape is what and how you would do this is.How would you expect a new TS to take place if you didn't have a policy with TimeOfDay schedule set?

The other thing you can do is set one or the other level as baseline, and then a specific TOD policy higher in the chain. I have a "Work Hours" schedule set from 8am-noon and 1-5pm that tightens down web filtering, but then off-hours and during lunch break the fw is more open, with the default policy being the more open. Seems to work well.

Hi,

The feature doesn't exist in 5.6.0 to 5.6.2. This was a Feature Request that was done last year and add in CLI in 5.6.3,

 

and available in GUI in 6.0.0.

Have a nice day!

Hello Philippe,

Sounds good.

Can you please share screen shot for schedule option  how you setup.

Hi,

Sorry for the delay! :)

Let say we have a Internet link 100Mbps/100Mbps

Create schedule for DayTime:

config firewall schedule recurring  edit "DayTime-7to17"    set start 07:00    set end 17:00    set day sunday monday tuesday wednesday thursday friday saturday  next end

Create shared shapers: config firewall shaper traffic-shaper  edit "Shared-75Mbps"    set maximum-bandwidth 76800    set priority low  next  edit "Shared-50Mbps"    set maximum-bandwidth 51200    set priority low  next end

Create Per-IP shapers: config firewall shaper per-ip-shaper  edit "Per-IP-4Mpbs"    set max-bandwidth 4096  next  edit "Per-IP-10Mbps"    set max-bandwidth 10240  next end

Create now Shaping policies: config firewall shaping-policy  edit 1    set service "ALL"    set schedule "DayTime-7to17"    set dstintf "wan1"    set traffic-shaper "Shared-50Mbps"    set traffic-shaper-reverse "Shared-50Mbps"    set per-ip-shaper "Per-IP-4Mpbs"    set srcaddr "User-Network"    set dstaddr "all"  next  edit 2    set service "ALL"    set dstintf "wan1"    set traffic-shaper "Shared-75Mbps"    set traffic-shaper-reverse "Shared-75Mbps"    set per-ip-shaper "Per-IP-10Mbps"    set srcaddr "User-Network"    set dstaddr "all"  next end

Shaping policies are applied the same way as firewall policies: top-down matches.

Have a nice day
