I appreciate the link, and I've already found similar documentation from Cisco. What I really need is a clear example of the syntax of how to use the command to &quot;share average&quot; to 1mbps on our outside interface.

I have a Cisco ASA 5505 connected to a full T1 behind a leased 1721 (i think) router. The router also feeds directly to our PBX, so we have VOIP traffic going over the T1, but it's not going through the ASA. I'm trying to figure out how to &quot;traffic shape&quot; the T1 interface on the ASA to limit it to 1mbps instead of the full 1.5mbps of the T1. I don't have any access to the router as it's leased from the ISP, so I'm trying to just limit the ASA for now. I know there is some &quot;shape average&quot; type command, but I can't figure out the syntax. If there is some basic commands I can ask the ISP to implement on the router, if that is the better option, please let me know.

Trying to implement traffic shaping on T1 interface. Need help with syntax.

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.

Hardware Firewalls

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.

Cisco PIX is a dedicated hardware firewall appliance; the Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) is a firewall and anti-malware security appliance that provides unified threat management and protection the PIX does not. Other Cisco devices and systems include routers, switches, storage networking, wireless and the software and hardware for PIX Firewall Manager (PFM), PIX Device Manager (PDM) and Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM).
