Setting ports priorities, how?
-
i'm a noob and used ipcop before, ipcop has its feature wherein you can assign ports priorities from high to low (high, medium, low).
is pfsense has this feature too?
thanks
-
It's propably 4 years since I last looked at IPcop so help me out please. What do you want to do with priorities on ports?
There is a traffic shaper you might want to look at. -
i would like to give high priorities with YM ports, my own server/client ports, and less priorities with other else.
about traffic shape of pfsense, i neve looked at that yet.
are you sure that traffic shaping you're referring to will serve the things i want?
thanks

…depends on how you define a port. ;D
If you're talking about network ports on a switch or NIC you are probably right.
If you want to priorize a service like HTTP on port 80 then use traffic shaping. -
here:
my client/server ports = port 10
ym ports = 5000-5001, 5000-5010, 5050, 5100
http port = 80
client advertisement port = 3600, 3800i would like to give those ports higher priorities compared with other ports, so, if traffic shaping will do that, please teach me how to do it.
thanks

-cruzadesSimple way - use wizard and change wizard-result-rules as you need's
-
The traffic shaper is exactly what you want.
You can configure queues and assign priorities to them. A lot more granular than 'high', 'med' and 'low' with the cop.Check out the shaper wizard and adjust the results if you want.

thanks Chris
i will look to that soon, too bad, my pfsense box just broke down yesterday and i'm starting to re-build it again.
my setup was 1.2-RC3 and i'm gonna use 1.2-RC2 at this time :(
i guess, 1.2-RC3 is not that really stable yet compared to RC2, wad do think?
-
Agreed.
1.2RC3 has some issues - at least some of the versions. But since we are lacking a build no. it's hard to tell which one…
