Classification

Top  Previous  Next

The classifications are used to mark the traffic that should be prioritized. You can create rules here as in the module firewall to mark the packets you want. Please be careful to set the most specific classification to the top of the list. If you want to create a classification for a telephone system at source IP 192.168.1.1 for example, you must add it before the classification for the remaining traffic (Source: ANY; Destination: ANY, Service: ANY). The firewall marks the incoming packets depending on the order of the rules and forwards them to the shaping rules.

 

At the index card Standard you can configure the options as at the module Firewall and additionally the following ones:

 

Name: Name of the classification
TOS Bits: Use this setting to mark VoIP traffic. Many providers and routers filter for these settings to prioritize the VoIP traffic.

 

The other index cards are the same as in the module Firewall.
