DESCRIPTION

details). Select any to apply the policy for every user.

 

 

From

Select the source zone of the traffic to which this policy applies.

 

 

To

Create Object to configure a new one. Select any if the policy is effective for every

 

source.

 

 

Destination

Select a destination address or address group for whom this policy applies. Select

 

Create Object to configure a new one. Select any if the policy is effective for every

 

destination.

 

 

Access

This field controls what the ZyWALL does with packets for this application that

 

match this policy. Choices are:

 

forward - the ZyWALL routes the packets for this application.

 

Drop - the ZyWALL does not route the packets for this application and does not

 

notify the client of its decision.

 

Reject - the ZyWALL does not route the packets for this application and notifies the

 

client of its decision.

 

 

Action Block

For some applications, you can select individual uses of the application that the

 

policy will have the ZyWALL block. These fields only apply when Access is set to

 

forward.

 

Login - Select this option to block users from logging in to a server for this

 

application.

 

Message - Select this option to block users from sending or receiving instant

 

messages.

 

Audio - Select this option to block users from sending or receiving audio traffic.

 

Video - Select this option to block users from sending or receiving video traffic.

 

File Transfer - Select this option to block users from sending or receiving files.

 

 

Bandwidth

Configure these fields to set the amount of bandwidth the application can use.

Management

These fields only apply when Access is set to forward.

 

You must also enable bandwidth management in the main application patrol screen

 

(AppPatrol > General) in order to apply bandwidth shaping.

 

 

Inbound kbps

Type how much inbound bandwidth, in kilobits per second, this policy allows the

 

application to use. Inbound refers to the traffic the ZyWALL sends to a

 

connection’s initiator.

 

If you enter 0 here, this policy does not apply bandwidth management for the

 

application’s traffic that the ZyWALL sends to the initiator. Traffic with bandwidth

 

management disabled (inbound and outbound are both set to 0) is automatically

 

treated as the lowest priority (7).

 

If the sum of the bandwidths for routes using the same next hop is higher than the

 

actual transmission speed, lower priority traffic may not be sent if higher priority

 

traffic uses all of the actual bandwidth.
