21.1. IPSH resource

The IPSH (IP Shaping) resource is used within the Abilis CPX to control network traffic in order to increase/decrease usable bandwidth for some kind of packets that meet certain criteria.

These criteria are configured using a specific flow table. Once the criteria is matched, a specific traffic shaping rule will define the behaviour to use for those packets.

21.1.1. IPSH resource parameters

Use the following command to display the parameters of the resource. By typing d p ipsh ? command it is possible to display the meaning of all the parameters.

[17:50:56] ABILIS_CPX:d p ipsh

RES:IpSh ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Run    DESCR:IP_Shaping_service
       LOG:NO        ACT:YES    buf:2000   maxuser:500
       MAXUSER-EXCEED:BYPASS
[Note]Note

The “Not Saved (SAVE CONF)” message is displayed every time the port is modified but not saved with the save conf command.

[Note]Note

The “Not Refreshed (INIT)” message is displayed every time the port is modified but not refreshed with the initialization command init res:ipsh or init ipsh.

Meaning of the parameters:

DESCR

Resource description. From 0 up to 79 Alphanumeric extended characters. Case is preserved. Spaces are allowed. Strings holding spaces must be written between quotation marks (E.g.: "str1 str2").

LOG

State changes log and alarm generation [NO, D, S, A, L, T, ALL] [+E] (D: Debug Log; S: System Log; A: Alarm view; L: Local audible alarm; T: SNMP traps; +E: Extended Log of state changes, see ref. manual).

ACT

Resource activation [NO, YES].

buf

Maximum number of packets which can be hold in shaping queues [500..10000].

maxuser

IMaximum number of simultaneous processable users [100..1000].

MAXUSER-EXCEED

Behaviour to adopt when maxuser limit is exceeded [DROP, BYPASS, LIMIT].

MAXUSER-EXCEED-LIMIT

Throughput limitation for packets that exceeds maxuser limit [64..100000 kbit/sec]

[Note]Note

Only for MAXUSER-EXCEED:LIMIT.

The following command allows the administrator to change the configuration of the resource:

s p ipsh parameter:value...

[Caution]Caution

To activate the changes made on the upper case parameters, execute the initialization command init res:ipsh; while to set act the changes made on the lowercase parameters a save conf and an Abilis restart are required (i.e. with warm start command).
