VPN Traffic Control
The Firebox® X Edge e-Series includes a separate Traffic Control feature for IPSec branch office VPN tun-
nels. You can limit the rate of traffic sent through the IPSec interface using QoS (Quality of Service)
through Traffic Control. You can manage and limit network traffic that passes through VPN tunnels by
giving different packet types more or less bandwidth.
If you do not configure specific VPN traffic control rules, any network traffic control rule you have con-
figured for IPSec will apply to all VPN traffic.
To configure VPN Traffic Control:
To connect to the System Status page, type https:// in the browser address bar, and the IP
1
address of the Firebox X Edge trusted interface.
The default URL is: https://192.168.111.1
From the navigation bar, select System Status > VPN Traffic Control.

The VPN Traffic Control page appears.
VPN Traffic Control for the IPSec interface is configured in the same way as Traffic Control for the exter-
nal interface. For more information, see "Traffic Management, " on page 135.
VPN Keep Alive
To keep the VPN tunnel open when there are no connections through it, you can use the IP address of
a computer at the other end of the tunnel as an echo host. The Firebox® X Edge e-Series sends a ping
each minute to the specified host. Use the IP address of a host that is always online and that can
respond to ping messages. You can enter the trusted interface IP address of the Firebox that is at the
other end of the tunnel. You also can use more than one IP address so the Edge can send a ping to
more than one host through different tunnels.
To connect to the System Status page, type https:// in the browser address bar, and the IP
1
address of the Firebox X Edge trusted interface.
The default URL is: https://192.168.111.1
