New Feature — QuotasNew Feature — Quotas

Bandwidth and Time QuotasBandwidth and Time Quotas
 You can enable bandwidth and time usage quotas for users on your
network for access to external sites.
 Apply a daily limit to user Internet usage to enforce corporate acceptable
use policies.
 When users exceed the quota limit, a notification message appears in
their web browsers and further access attempts are denied.

 You can set these types of quotas:
• Bandwidth — The bandwidth quota
is set in MB per day, and is
enforced for all TCP and UDP
traffic in both directions.
• Time — The time quota is set in
minutes per day.
 Both bandwidth and time quotas
can be enabled at the same time,
and the limit that is reached first is
enforced.

 Quota limits are applied to users
and groups based on
authentication to the Firebox.
 For a quota to take effect, a user
must be authenticated and match a
configured policy defined with
Firebox users and groups.

 To enable bandwidth and time quotas, you must:
• Enable quotas and create quota rules
• Apply a quota action to a rule
• Enable the quota rule in a policy

 Enable time and bandwidth quotas
 Add a quota rule that defines applicable users and groups, and the quota
action to apply.

 A quota action defines the bandwidth and time restrictions to apply to a
quota rule.

 To enforce a quota, a quota rule
must be enabled for a specific
policy.
 The policy must be defined with
users or groups to be able to apply
a quota rule.

 You can create exceptions to quotas so that any traffic to a specific
destination address is not counted towards the usage quota.
 Create exemptions for your company's own domains, or software and
antivirus signature update sites.

 Options to reset user quota data include:
• Quota daily limits are automatically reset the next day (starting at 00:00)
• Configuration changes automatically reset quotas for users and groups that use
the updated quota action
• Reboot the Firebox
• Manually reset quota data for specific users from the Web UI and FSM

Branch Office VPN Troubleshooting TipsBranch Office VPN Troubleshooting Tips
 For any branch office VPN, you can run reports and monitor error messages
on both endpoint devices—the initiator and the responder.
• The initiator is the endpoint that starts the tunnel negotiation
• The responder receives the proposal and accepts or rejects the proposed tunnel
settings from the initiator
 For troubleshooting VPN negotiation, run the VPN Diagnostic Report or look
at the VPN diagnostic messages on the responder.
• The responder has more information about settings that do not match.
 On the responder, VPN diagnostic errors include more detailed information about what
setting the initiator proposed, and what setting was expected.
• The initiator does not know what settings were expected.

VPN Troubleshooting in Firebox System ManagerVPN Troubleshooting in Firebox System Manager
 Example — VPN diagnostic message for a mismatched Phase 2 proposal
• VPN diagnostic message on
the initiator:
“Received ‘No Proposal Chosen’
message. Check VPN IKE diagnostic
log messages on the remote gateway
endpoint for more information.”
• The VPN diagnostic message
on the responder is more
informative:
“Received ESP encryption 3DES,
expecting AES”
 The same messages appear
in the VPN Diagnostic Report.
• To run the report, right-click
the gateway and select
VPN Diagnostic Report.
