In a shaping policy, there are many matching criteria available for administrators to
match a specific traffic and apply a traffic shaper or shaping group to the traffic,
including using schedules. This feature gives shaping policy the ability to apply different
shaping profiles at different times. Administrators can select a one-time schedule,
recurring schedule, or schedule group.
Schedule is not a mandatory setting. If it is not set, then the current date and time are
not used to match the traffic.
When devices are quarantined, they are isolated from the rest of the network. However,
they can still impact the network if not controlled beyond isolation. A quarantined host,
which offers heavy traffic, could congest the network and create a DOS-style reduction
in service to authorized hosts.
Within the quarantined VLAN, two restrictions are available within the network:
Traffic policing (also known as rate limiting)
QoS (Quality of Service) assignment (also known as priority assignment)
Each quarantined host's traffic can be subject to rate limiting and priority adjustment.
This reduces the impact that any quarantined host can have on authorized traffic on the
network.
