Configuring Email User Objects

You can create email user objects for use with SMTP Client policies. An email user object can be a list of users or an entire domain. For more information about email user objects, see “Email User Objects” .

Step 1
Step 2
In the Email User Objects screen, click Add New Email User Object .
Step 3
Step 4
For Match Type, select Exact Match or Partial Match . Use Partial Match when you want to match on the domain only. To match on individual users, select Exact Match.
Step 5

To match on a domain, type @ followed by the domain name, for example: @sonicwall.com . To match on an individual user, type the full email address, for example: jsmith@sonicwall.com . Repeat this step until you have added as many elements as you want.

Alternatively, you can click Load From File to import a list of elements from a text file. Each element in the file must be on a line by itself.

By defining an email user object with a list of users, you can use Application Firewall to simulate groups.

Step 6
Click OK .

Configuring Application Layer Bandwidth Management

To use application layer bandwidth management, you must first enable bandwidth management on the interface that will handle the traffic.

To enable bandwidth management on an interface, perform the following steps:

Step 1
In the navigation pane on the left side, click Network , and then click Interfaces .
Step 2
In the Interface Settings table, click the icon under Configure for the desired interface.
Step 3
In the Edit Interface dialog box, click the Advanced tab. The Advanced Settings screen displays.
Step 4
Under Bandwidth Management, to manage outbound bandwidth, select the Enable Egress Bandwidth Management checkbox, and optionally set the Available Interface Egress Bandwidth (Kbps) field to the maximum for the interface.
Under Bandwidth Management, to manage inbound bandwidth, select the Enable Ingress Bandwidth Management checkbox and optionally set the Available Interface Ingress Bandwidth (Kbps) field to the maximum for the interface.

 

100 Megabits per second

100,000

1 Gigabit per second

1,000,000

Step 5
Click OK .

After bandwidth management is enabled on the interface, you can configure Bandwidth Management as an action setting for an object in Application Firewall.

To configure Bandwidth Management as an action setting:

Step 1
In the navigation pane on the left side, click Application Firewall , and then click Actions .
Step 2
Step 3
Step 4
Step 5
To manage outbound bandwidth, select the Enable Outbound Bandwidth Management checkbox.
To manage inbound bandwidth, select the Enable Inbound Bandwidth Management checkbox.
Step 6
For Guaranteed Bandwidth , optionally enter a value either as a percentage or as kilobits per second. In the drop-down list, select either % or Kbps .

If you plan to use this custom action for rate limiting rather than guaranteeing bandwidth, you do not need to change the Guaranteed Bandwidth field.

Step 7
For Maximum Bandwidth , optionally enter a value either as a percentage or as kilobits per second. In the drop-down list, select either % or Kbps .

If you plan to use this custom action for guaranteeing bandwidth rather than rate limiting, you do not need to change the Maximum Bandwidth field.

Step 8
For Bandwidth Priority , select a priority level from the drop-down list, where 0 is the highest and 7 is the lowest.
Step 9
Optionally select Enable Tracking Bandwidth Usage to track the usage.
Step 10
