Assign QoS policies – alternatives

There are many options to assign a QoS policy to Sensor ports. You can assign a QoS policy to multiple Sensor ports. You can also go to the Policy Manager page of a specific Sensor port pair and select a QoS policy for that port. These options are described here.

1. Click the Policy tab.
2. Select the domain from the Domain drop-down list.
3. Go to Intrusion Prevention → Policy Manager.
4. In the Interfaces tab, double-click the Sensor port to which you would like to assign a QoS policy.
   The <Device Name/Interface> panel opens.
5. In the Quality of Service section, select the inbound and/or outbound policy from the Inbound Policy and/or Outbound Policy drop down.
6. Under the Inbound Rate Limiting Profile, select the Inbound Profile for the port.
7. Under the Outbound Rate Limiting Profile, select the Outbound Profile for the port.
8. Click Effective Inbound Rules or Effective Outbound Rules to see the order of the rate limiting rules applicable to the ports. This list also shows corresponding bandwidth for each rule.
9. Click Save.
10. Deploy the configuration changes to the corresponding Sensor.
