How to Limit Any except these Ports?
-
Option to invert the sense of the match is only for IP Addresses. How to do it with Ports?
Given I already have limiters in place.Rule statement:
"Limit anything from this IP to 3mb/5mb except ports <port alias="">"</port> -
The order of the firewall rules is important. On a regular interface, it is first-matched wins. Floating rules are last-matched wins (I think).
So, put the exception rule at the top, if it is a regular interface.
Then follow that rule with your limited-bandwidth catch-all.Traffic will be caught by the first rule if they are within the port alias.
Otherwise they miss that rule and fall into a catch-all (all ports). -
Thanks man, that's what I've been doing, I am just hoping to get a one liner rule for this. My rule list are becoming convoluted..
