For more information about QoS profiles, see “Creating Quality of Service (QoS) Profiles” on page 5-33.

Assigning Bandwidth Profiles

By applying a QoS profile, the WAN bandwidth does not change. You change the WAN bandwidth that is assigned to a service or application by applying a bandwidth profile. The purpose of bandwidth profiles is to provide a method for allocating and limiting traffic, thus allocating LAN users sufficient bandwidth while preventing them from consuming all the bandwidth on your WAN links.

For more information about bandwidth profiles, see “Creating Bandwidth Profiles” on page 5-36.

Monitoring Tools for Traffic Management

The UTM includes several tools that can be used to monitor the traffic conditions of the firewall and content filtering engine and to monitor the users’ access to the Internet and the types of traffic that they are allowed to have. See “Monitoring System Access and Performance” on page 11-1for a description of these tools.
