Configuring Application Rules
Application layer BWM allows you to create policies that regulate bandwidth consumption by
specific file types within a protocol, while allowing other file types to use unlimited bandwidth.
This enables you to distinguish between desirable and undesirable traffic within the same
protocol. Application layer bandwidth management is supported for all Application matches, as
well as custom App Rules policies using HTTP client, HTTP Server, Custom, and FTP file
transfer types. For more information on Application Rules, see Configuring Application Rules.
Note It is a best practice to configure BWM settings before configuring App Control policies that
use BWM.
After bandwidth management is enabled on the interface, you can configure BWM for a specific
application rule on the Firewall > App Rules page.
