pix limited bandwith

[jaymare33]

I hope this is the right place where I can post my problem: I just want to limit traffic on my pix's ethernet interface.. is it possible?

Hello,

with version 7.0 QoS is part of the PIX features. This includes rat limiting. For a detailed explanation of possibilities and limitations please read in the "Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide, Version 7.0" the section on rate limiting: "Applying Rate Limiting"

Hello,

in the same document you find a section entitled "Activating the Service Policy", where you find the command:

hostname(config)# service-policy qos interface outside

One service policy can be applied per interface.

A sample configuration to limit all traffic across an interface, which should be close to what you need:

hostname(config)# policy-map Limit1MB

hostname(config-pmap-c)# class class-default

hostname(config-pmap-c)# police output 1000000 37500

hostname(config)# service-policy Limit1MB interface outside

You can also use other interfaces and apply the service-policy.
