CSM ASA traffic shaping

[christopher.wallace]

Hi all,

I've just looked into ASA traffic shaping. The feature has been in the ASA OS since 7.2(4)/ 8.0(4), but I can't find the feature under service policy rules in CSM.

Is this unsupported? I really don't want to have to do this via a flex config as I will have different settings on each of my 30+ firewalls. and I use a policy bundle that already has our flex configs in there.

The X ASAs do not support shaping.  The old ASAs do support it.  Just about every competitor supports interface shaping on their firewalls.  Pretty much rules out ASA for people running VOIP and dont want an extra router etc.

Cisco - you need to support traffic shaping on the X ASAs.  Policing does not cut it.
