Creating queues

For this example, it is assumed that the default acknowledgment (ACK) queues and default queues for the LAN, WAN and DMZ interfaces already exist and were created as described in the section Lowest configuration required to apply QoS in a LAN/WAN/DMZ architecture.

Go to Security policy > Quality of service > Queues tab.

Creating queues for the WAN interface

Creating the queue for FTP traffic

  1. Click on Add.
  2. Select Class Based Queuing (CBQ).
  3. Name the queue (FTP_WAN_Q in this example).
  4. In the Guaranteed bandwidth line, specify 10 Mbit/s.
  5. In the Max bandwidth line, specify 20 Mbit/s.
  6. In the Guaranteed rev. line, specify 10 Mbit/s.
  7. In the Max rev. line, specify 20 Mbit/s.
  8. Confirm by clicking on Apply.

Creating the queue for the file share

Follow the steps explained in the procedure Creating the queue for FTP traffic with the following values for this example:

Queue type Class Based Queuing
Name GD_WAN_Q
Guaranteed bandwidth 10 Mbit/s
Max bandwidth unlimited
Guaranteed rev. 10 Mbit/s
Max rev. 20 Mbit/s

Creating the queue for HTTP/HTTPS work traffic

Follow the steps explained in the procedure Creating the queue for FTP traffic with the following values for this example:

Queue type Class Based Queuing
Name HTTP_WAN_Q
Guaranteed bandwidth 40 Mbit/s
Max bandwidth unlimited
Guaranteed rev. 40 Mbit/s
Max rev. unlimited

Creating the queue for VoIP traffic (SIP)

Follow the steps explained in the procedure Creating the queue for FTP traffic with the following values for this example:

Queue type Class Based Queuing
Name SIP_WAN_Q
Guaranteed bandwidth 15 Mbit/s
Max bandwidth unlimited
Guaranteed rev. 15 Mbit/s
Max rev. unlimited

Creating queues for the DMZ interface

Creating the queue for HTTP/HTTPS work traffic

Follow the steps explained in the procedure Creating the queue for FTP traffic with the following values for this example:

Queue type Class Based Queuing
Name HTTP_DMZ_Q
Guaranteed bandwidth 600 Mbit/s
Max bandwidth unlimited
Guaranteed rev. 600 Mbit/s
Max rev. unlimited

Creating the queue for the file share

  1. Follow the steps explained in the procedure Creating the queue for FTP traffic with the following values for this example:
Queue type Class Based Queuing
Name SMB_DMZ_Q
Guaranteed bandwidth 100 Mbit/s
Max bandwidth unlimited
Guaranteed rev. 100 Mbit/s
Max rev. unlimited

The grid of the QoS queues set in this example will therefore look like this:

  1. Confirm changes to the QoS configuration by clicking on Apply.
