The Other Applications Screen
Sometimes, the ZyWALL cannot identify the application. For example, the
application might be a new application, or the packets might arrive out of
sequence. (The ZyWALL does not reorder packets when identifying the
application.)
The
Other
(applications) screen controls the default policy for TCP and UDP traffic
that the ZyWALL cannot identify. You can use source zone, destination zone,
destination port, schedule, user, source, and destination information as criteria to
create a sequence of specific conditions, similar to the sequence of rules used by
firewalls, to specify what the ZyWALL should do more precisely. You can also
control the bandwidth used by these other applications.This screen also allows you
to add, edit, and remove conditions to this default policy.
Priority
This field displays when the inbound or outbound bandwidth
management is not set to 0. Enter a number between 1 and 7 to set the
priority for this application’s traffic that matches this policy. The smaller
the number, the higher the priority.
The ZyWALL gives traffic of an application with higher priority bandwidth
before traffic of an application with lower priority.
The ZyWALL uses a fairness-based (round-robin) scheduler to divide
bandwidth between applications with the same priority.
The number in this field is ignored if the incoming and outgoing limits
are both set to 0. In this case the traffic is automatically treated as being
set to the lowest priority (7) regardless of this field’s configuration.
Maximize
Bandwidth
Usage
This field displays when the inbound or outbound bandwidth
management is not set to 0. Enable maximize bandwidth usage to let
the traffic matching this policy “borrow” any unused bandwidth on the
out-going interface.
After each application gets its configured bandwidth rate, the ZyWALL
uses the fairness- based scheduler to divide any unused bandwidth on
the out-going interface amongst applications that need more bandwidth
and have maximize bandwidth usage enabled.
Log
Select whether to have the ZyWALL generate a log (
log
), log and alert
(
log alert
) or neither (
no
) when the application’s traffic matches this
policy. See
Chapter 46 on page 723
for more on logs.

#
This field is a sequential value, and it is not associated with a specific
condition.
Note: The ZyWALL checks conditions in the order they appear in
the list. While this sequence does not affect the functionality,
you might improve the performance of the ZyWALL by putting
more common conditions at the top of the list.
Port
This field displays the specific port number to which this policy applies.
Schedule
This is the schedule that defines when the policy applies.

This is the user name or user group to which the policy applies. If

Protocol
This is the protocol of the traffic to which this policy applies.
Access
This field displays what the ZyWALL does with packets that match this
policy.
forward
- the ZyWALL routes the packets.
Drop
- the ZyWALL does not route the packets and does not notify the
client of its decision.
Reject
- the ZyWALL does not route the packets and notifies the client
of its decision.
DSCP Marking
This is how the ZyWALL handles the DSCP value of the outgoing packets
that match this policy.
In
- Inbound, the traffic the ZyWALL sends to a connection’s initiator.
Out
- Outbound, the traffic the ZyWALL sends out from a connection’s
initiator.
If this field displays a DSCP value, the ZyWALL applies that DSCP value
to the route’s outgoing packets.
preserve
means the ZyWALL does not modify the DSCP value of the
route’s outgoing packets.
default
means the ZyWALL sets the DSCP value of the route’s outgoing
packets to 0.
The “
af

the “

BWM
These fields show the amount of bandwidth the traffic can use. These
fields only apply when
Access

forward
.
In
- This is how much inbound bandwidth, in kilobits per second, this
policy allows the matching traffic to use. Inbound refers to the traffic the
ZyWALL sends to
a connection’s initiator. If
no
displays here, this policy
does not apply bandwidth management for the inbound traffic.
Out
- This is how much outgoing bandwidth, in kilobits per second, this
policy allows the matching traffic to use. Outbound refers to the traffic
the ZyWALL sends out from a connection’s initiator. If
no
displays here,
this policy does not apply bandwidth management for the outbound
traffic.
Pri
- This is the priority for the traffic that matches this policy. The
smaller the number, the higher the priority. Traffic with a higher priority
is given bandwidth before traffic with a lower priority. The ZyWALL
ignores this number if the incoming and outgoing limits are both set to
0. In this case the traffic is automatically treated as being set to the
lowest priority (7) regardless of this field’s configuration.
