Limit bandwidth of traffic for spec. ports

datchcha

Is there a way to limit the amount of bandwidth traffic uses, based on ports? I am using an ASA5505 not sure which version of IOS.

What my issue is – I have a few programmers who always performance sql maintenance during day hours, so they do not have to work after hours. So what I want to do is limit the amount of bandwidth sql uses, to say only about 64kbps, or there about.

Is there an easy way I want to achieve this on my ASA?

Thank you,

You can do this with Policing and rate limiting. Look up QoS/MPF (Modular Policy Framework) etc. to learn how to create a class-map to define the traffic (most easily with an ACL applied into the class map), then a policy-map to set the rate limits and apply them to your interface.

Thank you for the insight. I will have to check this out.
