NAME¶

fireqos-interface - create an interface definition

SYNOPSIS¶

{ interface | interface4 } device name direction [optional-class-params] { rate | commit | min } speed

interface46 ...

interface6 ...

DESCRIPTION¶

Writing interface or interface4 applies traffic shaping rules only to IPv4 traffic.

Writing interface6 applies traffic shaping rules only to IPv6 traffic.

Writing interface46 applies traffic shaping rules to both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic.

The actual traffic shaping behaviour of a class is defined by adding classes. See fireqos-class(5).

PARAMETERS¶

device

This is the interface name as shown by ip link show (e.g. eth0, ppp1, etc.)

name

This is a single-word name for this interface and is used for retrieving status information later.

direction

If set to input, traffic coming in to the interface is shaped.

optional-class-params

For a list of optional class parameters which can be applied to an interface, see fireqos-params-class(5).

speed

For an interface, the committed speed must be specified with the rate option. The speed can be expressed in any of the units described in fireqos.conf(5).

EXAMPLES¶

To create an input policy on eth0, capable of delivering up to 1Gbit of traffic:

interface eth0 lan-in input rate 1Gbit

# I define torrents beneath the default class, so they slow # down when the default class is willing to get bandwidth class torrents max 90% match port 51414 # my torrent client ~~~~

This example uses server/client statements in a bidirectional interface. Of course match statements can also be specified. FireQOS will create 2 interfaces out of this: world-in and world-out.
