10.2.7. Guaranteeing Instead of Limiting Bandwidth 10.2.6. Viewing Traffic Shaping Objects Chapter 10. Traffic Management Viewing Hosts IDP traffic shaping has a special CLI command associated with it called idppipes and this can examine and manipulate the hosts which are currently subject to traffic shaping. To display all hosts being traffic shaped by IDP Traffic Shaping, the command would be: gw-world:/> idppipes -show Host kbps Tmout 192.168.1.1 100 58 A host, in this case with IP address 192.168.1.1, can be removed from traffic shaping using the command: gw-world:/> idppipes -unpipe -host=192.168.1.1 A full description of the idppipes command can be found in the separate CLI Reference Guide. Viewing Pipes IDP Traffic Shaping makes use of normal NetDefendOS pipe objects which are created automatically. These pipes are always allocated the highest priority and use the Group feature to throttle traffic. The created pipes are, however, hidden from the administrator when examining the currently defined traffic shaping objects with the Web Interface, but they can be examined and manipulated using the normal CLI pipes command. For example, to show all currently defined pipes, the CLI command is: gw-world:/> pipes -show The IDP Traffic Shaping pipes can be recognized by their distinctive naming convention which is explained next. Pipe Naming NetDefendOS names the pipes it automatically creates in IDP Traffic Shaping using the pattern IDPPipe_ for pipes with upstream (forward) flowing traffic and IDPPipe_R for pipes with downstream (return) flowing traffic. A number suffix is appended if name duplication occurs. For example, the first pipes created with a limit of 1000 kbps will be called IDPPipe_1000 for upstream traffic and IDPPipe_1000R for downstream traffic. Duplicates with the same limit would get the names IDPPipe_1000_(2) and IDPPipe_1000R_(2). If another set of duplicates occur, the suffix (3) is used. Pipes are Shared There is not a 1 to 1 relationship between a configured IDP action and the pipes created. Two pipes are created per configured bandwidth value, one for upstream (forward) traffic and one for downstream (return) traffic. Multiple hosts use the same pipe for each direction with traffic in the upstream pipe grouped using the "Per Source IP" feature and traffic in the downstream pipe grouped using the "Per Destination IP" feature. 468

10.2.6. Viewing Traffic Shaping Objects
Viewing Hosts
IDP traffic shaping has a special CLI command associated with it called
idppipes
and this can
examine and manipulate the hosts which are currently subject to traffic shaping.
To display all hosts being traffic shaped by IDP Traffic Shaping, the command would be:
gw-world:/>
idppipes -show
Host
kbps Tmout
----------- ---- ----
192.168.1.1 100 58
A host, in this case with IP address
192.168.1.1
, can be removed from traffic shaping using the
command:
gw-world:/>
idppipes -unpipe -host=192.168.1.1
A full description of the
idppipes
command can be found in the separate
CLI Reference Guide
.
Viewing Pipes
IDP
Traffic
Shaping
makes
use
of
normal
NetDefendOS
pipe
objects
which
are
created
automatically. These pipes are always allocated the highest priority and use the
Group
feature to
throttle traffic.
The created pipes are, however, hidden from the administrator when examining the currently
defined traffic shaping objects with the Web Interface, but they can be examined and manipulated
using the normal CLI
pipes
command. For example, to show all currently defined pipes, the CLI
command is:
gw-world:/>
pipes -show
The IDP Traffic Shaping pipes can be recognized by their distinctive naming convention which is
explained next.
Pipe Naming
NetDefendOS names the pipes it automatically creates in IDP Traffic Shaping using the pattern
IDPPipe_<bandwidth>
for
pipes
with
upstream
(forward)
flowing
traffic
and
IDPPipe_<bandwidth>R
for pipes with downstream (return) flowing traffic. A number suffix is
appended if name duplication occurs.
For example, the first pipes created with a limit of 1000 kbps will be called
IDPPipe_1000
for
upstream traffic and
IDPPipe_1000R
for downstream traffic. Duplicates with the same limit would
get the names
IDPPipe_1000_(2)
and
IDPPipe_1000R_(2)
. If another set of duplicates occur, the
suffix
(3)
is used.
Pipes are Shared
There is not a 1 to 1 relationship between a configured IDP action and the pipes created. Two pipes
are created per configured bandwidth value, one for upstream (forward) traffic and one for
downstream (return) traffic. Multiple hosts use the same pipe for each direction with traffic in the
upstream pipe grouped using the "Per Source IP" feature and traffic in the downstream pipe grouped
using the "Per Destination IP" feature.
