WAN Interface Settings - Using BigPond The ISP Telstra BigPond uses BigPond for authentication; the IP is assigned with DHCP. • Username - The login or username supplied to you by your ISP. • Password - The password supplied to you by your ISP. Traffic Shaping When Traffic Shaping is enabled and the correct maximum up and downstream bandwidth is specified it's possible to control whichever policies have the highest priority when large amounts of data are moving through the DFL-1100. For example, the policy for the web server might be given higher priority than the policies for most employees' computers. You can use traffic shaping to guarantee the amount of bandwidth available through the firewall for a policy. Guarantee bandwidth to make sure that there is enough bandwidth available for a high-priority service. You can also use traffic shaping to limit the amount of bandwidth available through the firewall for a policy. Limit bandwidth to keep less important services from using bandwidth needed for more important services. Note: If the limit is set too high, i.e. higher then your Internet connection, the traffic shaping will not work at all. 20

Traffic Shaping
When
Traffic Shaping
is enabled and the correct maximum up and downstream
bandwidth is specified it’s possible to control whichever policies have the highest priority when
large amounts of data are moving through the DFL-1100. For example, the policy for the web
server might be given higher priority than the policies for most employees' computers.
You can use traffic shaping to guarantee the amount of bandwidth available through the
firewall for a policy. Guarantee bandwidth to make sure that there is enough bandwidth
available for a high-priority service. You can also use traffic shaping to limit the amount of
bandwidth available through the firewall for a policy. Limit bandwidth to keep less important
services from using bandwidth needed for more important services.
Note:
If the limit is set too high, i.e. higher then your Internet connection, the traffic
shaping will not work at all.
