22.3. IP Rule table

Changes on IP Rule table are active only after an init ipsh command.

The command save conf saves all rules inside the table. In the configuration files up to 32 rules are saved.

The available commands for managing the IP rule table are the following:

22.3.1. D IPSH RULE (Display IP Shaping Rule)

It shows the IP shaping rule table. By typing d ipsh rule ? command it's possible to display the meaning of all parameters.

[14:36:28] ABILIS_CPX:d ipsh rule

ID:1   DESCR:
       TI1:ALL,00:00-23:59                 TI2:#
       TYPE:VARIANCE      PERIOD:300       THRESHOLD:10
                          STEP-DOWN:50     STEP-UP:200

Meaning of the parameters:

ID

IP Shaping rule identifier [1..32].

DESCR

Entry description. From 0 up to 70 Alphanumeric extended characters. Case is preserved. Spaces are allowed. Strings holding spaces must be written between quotation marks (E.g. "str1 str2"). It's displayed only when not empty.

TI1

Time interval indicating rule enable. The format used to specify the interval is: "day,hh:mm-hh:mm", where 'day' can be: a single day [MO, TU, WE, TH, FR, SA, SU] or a set of days (E.g.: MO+TH or TU+TH+SU etc.) or an interval.(E.g.: MO-WE or TH-SU etc. or ALL).

TI2

Time interval indicating rule enable. The format used to specify the interval is: "day,hh:mm-hh:mm", where 'day' can be: a single day [MO, TU, WE, TH, FR, SA, SU] or a set of days (E.g.: MO+TH or TU+TH+SU etc.) or an interval.(E.g.: MO-WE or TH-SU etc. or ALL).

TYPE

Rule type [#, VARIANCE, VARIANCE-WH]

  • When '#', rule type isn't defined.

  • When 'VARIANCE', rule must follow variance algorithm.

  • When 'VARIANCE-WH', rule must follow variance algorithm. Bandwidth range is affected by working hours (WH-TI).

PERIOD

Time interval used for algorithm rule calculation [30..1800 sec].

THRESHOLD

Variance threshold: above or equal threshold the traffic is interactive, below it's stream. [0..20].

STEP-DOWN

Reduction percentage for each reduction step, calculated respect to current bandwidth limit. [0..90].

STEP-UP

Increasing percentage for each increase step, calculated respect to current bandwidth limit. [110..500].

WH-TI1

Time interval during which the WH-LOWBW: and WH-HIGHBW: reductions take place. The format used to specify the interval is: "day,hh:mm-hh:mm", where 'day' can be: a single day [MO, TU, WE, TH, FR, SA, SU] or a set of days (E.g.: MO+TH or TU+TH+SU etc.) or an interval.(E.g.: MO-WE or TH-SU etc. or ALL).

[Note]Note

Only for TYPE:VARIANCE-HW.

WH-TI2

Time interval during which the WH-LOWBW: and WH-HIGHBW: reductions take place. The format used to specify the interval is: "day,hh:mm-hh:mm", where 'day' can be: a single day [MO, TU, WE, TH, FR, SA, SU] or a set of days (E.g.: MO+TH or TU+TH+SU etc.) or an interval.(E.g.: MO-WE or TH-SU etc. or ALL).

[Note]Note

Only for TYPE:VARIANCE-HW.

WH-LOWBW

Reduction percentage during working hours applied to LOWBW: value specified in the IPSH FLOW that references this rule. [10..90].

[Note]Note

Only for TYPE:VARIANCE-HW.

WH-HIGHBW

Reduction percentage during working hours applied to HIGHBW: value specified in the IPSH FLOW that references this rule. [10..90].

[Note]Note

Only for TYPE:VARIANCE-HW.

22.3.2. A IPSH RULE (Add IP Shaping Rule)

It adds a new IP rule definition with the specified parameters. Unspecified ones are set to their default values.

To display the syntax of the command, type a ipsh rule ?.

Some examples follow:

[14:00:15] ABILIS_CPX:a ipsh rule id:1 type:variance step-up:200

COMMAND EXECUTED

                          STEP-DOWN:50     STEP-UP:200

22.3.3. C IPSH RULE (Clear IP Shaping Rule)

It deletes from the table the IP rule identified by the specified “ID:xx”.

To display the syntax of the command, type c ipsh rule ?.

Some examples follow:

[13:55:27] ABILIS_CPX:d ipsh rule
