Defines or edits a custom flow. Select a name for the custom-flow from the set command. The CLI will step
into the newly-named or previously-defined flow for editing.
• protocol – Allows you to choose the IP protocol for the stream: TCP, UDP, ICMP, or other.
other is appropriate for setting up flows on protocols with non-standard port definitions, for example,
IPSEC or PPTP. If you select
other, an additional field, numbered-protocol will appear with a range of
0–255. Choose the protocol number from this field.
• direction – Allows you to choose whether to apply the marking and gateway queue behavior for inbound
packets, outbound packets, or to both. If the Gateway is used as an “edge” gateway, its more impor tant
function is to mark the packets for high-priority streams in the outbound direction.
• start-port/end-port – Allows you to specify a range of ports to check for a particular flow, if the protocol
selection is TCP or UDP.
• inside-ip/mask – If you want packets originating from a certain LAN IP address to be marked, enter the
IP address and subnet mask here. If you leave the address equal to zero, this check is ignored for out-
bound packets. The check is always ignored for inbound packets. The DiffSer ve queuing function must
be applied ahead of NAT; and, before NAT re-maps the inbound packets, all inbound packets are des-
tined for the Gateway's WAN IP address.
• outside-ip/mask – If you want packets destined for and originating from a certain WAN IP address to be
marked, enter this address and subnet mask here. If you leave the address equal to zero, the outside
address check is ignored. For outbound flows, the outside address is the destination IP address for the
packets. For inbound packets, the outside address is the source IP address for the packets.
Note:
When setting the Inside/Outside IP Address/Netmask settings, note that a netmask value can be used
to configure for a network rather than a single IP address.
• qos – Allows you to specify the Quality of Service for the flow: off, assure, expedite or network-con-
trol. These are used both to mark the IP TOS byte and to distribute packets into the queues as if they
were marked by the source.
QoS Setting TOS Bit Value Behavior
Off TOS=000 This custom flow is disabled. You can activate it by selecting one
of the two settings below. This setting allows you to pre-define
flows without actually activating them.
Assure TOS=001 Use normal queuing and throughput rules, but do not drop pack-
ets if possible. Appropriate for applications with no guaranteed
deliver y mechanism.
Expedite TOS=101 Use minimum delay. Appropriate for VoIP and video applications.
Network Control TOS=111 Use highest possible priority.
