The cisco documentation claims that the ASA 5512-X does not support traffic shaping because it is a multi processor device. Why is this?
Is shaping just inherently active?
It seems like the shapper is a good feature, i don't understand why it is not available.
To add more details, the shape command is not available under the class default policy, it is located elsewhere? Here is what I normally apply
class-map RTP-traffic
match dscp ef
class-map SIP-traffic
match dscp af31
policy-map voice-policy
class RTP-traffic
priority
class SIP-traffic
priority
policy-map outside-policy
class class-default
shape average 5000000
service-policy voice-policy
service-policy outside-policy interface outside
But when I go to apply this i only see
ASAX(config-pmap-c)# policy-map outside-policy
ASAX(config-pmap)# class class-default
ASAX(config-pmap-c)# ?
MPF policy-map class configuration commands:
exit Exit from MPF class action configuration mode
help Help for MPF policy-map class/match submode commands
no Negate or set default values of a command
police Rate limit traffic for this class
priority Strict scheduling priority for this class
quit Exit from MPF class action configuration mode
set Set connection values
user-statistics configure user statistics for identity firewall
<cr>
csc Content Security and Control service module
flow-export Configure filters for NetFlow events
inspect Protocol inspection services
ips Intrusion prevention services
And the shape is not available.
