1.4 Traffic Management
The Traffic Management page allows the users logged in as administrators to create
custom traffic aggregation, duplication and filtering rules, as well as enable load
balancing for multiple interfaces, tailoring the way data flows on each port of the unit.
These custom settings can be grouped into Rule Sets and, depending on the
requirements, a certain Rule Set can be selected as active from the list of existing
Rule Sets.
The Active tab displays the set of rules that is currently active and its details,
including the filtered interfaces and the ones linked in load balancing. These details
(name and description) can be changed using the <Edit> button, whereas the Rules
and LAGs (Link Aggregation Groups) can be changed using the <Configure> button.
The list of available rules can be filtered using parameters like the configured input
and output ports or the selected actions.
When Link Aggregation Group is enabled for a group of interfaces, is important to
remember that when a port is inserted in one of these groups, it cannot be used in
additional rules and it will be displayed unavailable in the port layout. Additionally, in
order to have a consistent behaviour of the load balancing group, all the interfaces
belonging to that group must operate at the same speed.
The Rule sets tab displays the list of existing set of rules (the active one being
highlighted), allowing users logged in as administrators to create , configure ,
activate or delete a rule set. Multiple Rule Sets can be deleted by selecting
one or more Rule Sets and pressing the “Delete Rule Sets” button.
▶
Note: Only one rule set can be active at a time.
A rule set needs to be composed of at least one rule in order to be taken into account
and have any effect when applied. Rules can be added ,modified
or duplicated.
