Configuring the QoS Blade

Configuring the QoS Blade
In the Access Policy view > QoS section > Blade Control page you can activate QoS and configure the
QoS default policy.
The QoS (bandwidth control) policy is a set of rules that lets you set bandwidth parameters to control the
flow of communication to and from your network. These rules make sure that important traffic is prioritized
so your business can work with minimum disruption when there is network congestion.
You can configure QoS on Internet connections. This requires at least one Internet connection to be
configured with the maximum download and/or upload speeds provided by your ISP. For more information
about your download and upload speeds, contact your local ISP.
QoS policy applies to traffic over external interfaces only.
QoS
Select one of the options to set the Access Policy control level:
n
On - Enforces the default QoS policy.
n
Off - QoS default policy is not enforced.
Note - When the blade is managed by Cloud Services, a lock icon is shown. You cannot
toggle between the on and off states. If you change other policy settings, the change is
temporary. Any changes made locally will be overridden in the next synchronization
between the gateway and Cloud Services.
