Limiting bandwidth consumption on LTE backup connection

dma0

I was wondering if there was a way (hopefully a fairly straighforward way) to limit the rate and total consumption of bandwidth when XG fails over to my backup LTE connection. LTE is a bit on the pricey side where I am so was hoping to do this to cap the costs to a maximum.

I suspect this is done by creating a firewall rule, but am not quite sure how to go about it. If anyone might care to share some examples I would be most indebted to you.

    Hi,

     

    Kindly refer to this KB in creating traffic shaping policies https://community.sophos.com/kb/en-us/123059,

     

    once you have created a traffic shaping policy, you can then now apply it to a firewall policy, and point your WAN gateway to your LTE connection.

     

    hope it helps, give it a shot, and let us know how it goes.

     

    Regards,

    Rap

    Thanks - that's very helpful. I've tried setting up some test policies and rules based on the article. Will try forcing a failover to see how well it works. The only thing I wasn't able to do was to fix a maximum of bandwidth consumption (i.e. stop after a total of X GB is uploaded and downloaded). I don't suppose it matters much the order which the rule shows up, does it? I've tentatively put it at the bottom.
