ProSafe VPN Firewall 200 FVX538 Reference Manual Table 4-2. Outbound Rules (continued) Item QoS Priority NAT IP Description The priority assigned to IP packets of this service. The priorities are defined by "Type of Service (TOS) in the Internet Protocol Suite" standards, RFC 1349. The router marks the Type Of Service (TOS) field as defined below: • Normal-Service: No special priority given to the traffic. The IP packets for services with this priority are marked with a TOS value of 0. • Minimize-Cost: Used when data must be transferred over a link that has a lower cost. The IP packets for services with this priority are marked with a TOS value of 1. • Maximize-Reliability: Used when data needs to travel to the destination over a reliable link and with little or no retransmission. The IP packets for services with this priority are marked with a TOS value of 2. • Maximize-Throughput: Used when the volume of data transferred during an interval is important even if the latency over the link is high. The IP packets for services with this priority are marked with a TOS value of 4. • Minimize-Delay: Used when the time required (latency) for the packet to reach the destination must be low. The IP packets for services with this priority are marked with a TOS value of 8. This setting determines the priority of a service which, in turn, determines the quality of that service for the traffic passing through the firewall. By default, the priority shown is that of the selected service. The user can change it accordingly. If the user does not make a selection (i.e., leaves it as None), then the native priority of the service will be applied to the policy. See "Setting Quality of Service (QoS) Priorities" on page 4-27. Specifies whether the source address of the outgoing packets on WAN should be assigned WAN interface address OR different one. • NAT single IP is on: The Interface to which the NAT IP belongs to. All the outgoing packets on WAN will be routed through the specified WAN interface only. • WAN Interface Address: All the outgoing packets on WAN will be assigned WAN interface address. • Single Address: All the outgoing packets on WAN will be assigned the specified IP address. Note: This option will be available only when WAN mode is NAT. The IP address specified should fall under the WAN subnet. Firewall Protection and Content Filtering 4-5 v1.0, March 2009
