Can Netscreen 5GT do QoS...?

Can Netscreen 5GT do QoS...?

Hi,

We need to give the ports Trusted 1+2 priority over Trusted 3+4? I.e.
that 1+2 get all the bandwidth they need and 3+4 only get 'leftovers'
and the full bandwidth when 1+2 is idle.

Does the 5GT support this type of QoS?

Thanks for comments

Geir

QoS in ScreenOS is policy based, not port based, so your requirement is
not directly supported.

However, you should be able to achieve the desired behavior by putting
the 5GT into Home-Work mode, enabling traffic shaping on all policies,
and setting highest priority on all policies to/from the Work zone
(ports 1 & 2) and lowest priority on all policies to/from the Home zone
(ports 3 & 4)
