how do I limit bandwidth for a particular server/rule?

Hi all,

How do I limit total bandwidth available for a server (in this case Exchange) to 15 mbits?  On a Juniper I could simply specify traffic shaping right on the rule.

On our SG230 I created a traffic selector for any->any->NetworkGroupThatContainsMyExchangeServersUntrustIPs

And then a bandwidth pool with 15000 set for both guaranteed and upper limit.

Will that do the trick?
Thanks!

  • HTTPS is a bit of a different beast than SMTP, Wes.  With web surfing, a small request can generate a lot of return traffic.  You will also need the opposite service, "HTTPS-Response" = "443->1:65535" which you can use in the Bandwidth Pool in place of HTTPS.  I'm assuming that you don't need to worry about inbound HTTPS  uploads.

    If you have other HTTPS servers behind the UTM, you might want to take a different approach.  Instead of modifying that Bandwidth Pool, create a Download Throttling rule on the Trust (LAN) interface for 'Exchange -> HTTPS-Response -> Internet'.

    Cheers - Bob
