Creating a User Traffic Profile

A User Traffic Profile (UTP) can be created to block or limit user traffic based on a number of factors, including Source IP address, Port, Destination IP address, Protocol, etc. Additionally, a UTP can be created to shape traffic according to a configurable Application Control Policy.

Once the UTP is created, it can be applied to any WLAN from the Wireless LANs page.

  1. Go to Services & Profiles > Access Control.
  2. Select the User Traffic tab, and then select the zone for which you want to create the profile.
  3. Click Create. The Create User Traffic Profile page appears.

  4. Configure the following:
    1. Name: Type a name for the user profile.
    2. Description: Type a short description for this profile.
    3. Rate Limiting: Specify and apply rate limit values for the user profile to control the data rate. Select the Enable check-box to set the Uplink and Downlink rate limit values.
  5. To create traffic control rules, click Create in the Traffic Access Control List section, and then configure Traffic Control Rules as required. For Default Access, select whether to Allow or Block access if no rule is matched. See Creating a User Traffic Access Control Rule for more information.
  6. In Application Recognition and Control, select an Application Policy from the list, or click Create to create a new policy.
    For more information, see Configuring Application Controls.
  7. Click OK to save the User Traffic Profile.
You have completed creating a UTP. You can now assign this traffic profile to a WLAN from the Wireless LANs page.
NOTE
You can also edit, clone and delete a profile by selecting the options Configure, Clone and Delete respectively, from the User Traffic tab.
