Help in limiting certain IP's

AYSMAN · Mar 26, 2013, 5:00 PM

Hi guys! Can anyone help me out on this one?
I've already create a traffic shaping rule for both upload and download.
I also verified the limiters are working perfectly. Now my problem is I want to Exclude an IP range (192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.50) to NOT be affected by the Limiter. I already created an "Alias" for this IP range, My question is How do I configure my Firewall rule to exclude this 'Alias' so that the PCs that are using these IPs are not affected by the limiter?

Hi,

I haven't used limiters, but maybe you could do it as follows:

1. Create a firewall rule for the IP range to exclude as follows:
Pass
Source: $ALIAS_EXCLUDED_IPs
Destination: any
In/Out: None

2. Create a second firewall rule for the remaining IP range as follows:
Pass
Source: $ALIAS_OTHER_IPs
Destination: any
In/Out: UploadLimiter/DownloadLimiter

I'm not 100% sure, but do tell me if this works.
