default-qos-type {policing | shaping}

For FortiGates with NP7 processors default-qos-type is set to policing and cannot be changed.

For FortiGates with NP7Lite (SOC5) processors you can use this command to set the QoS type used by the NP7Lite processor for traffic shaping. The FortiGate restarts after changing this setting.

config system npu

set default-qos-type {policing | shaping}

end

On FortiGates with NP7Lite processors, the default setting is shaping, and the NP7Lite processor uses the QTM module to apply traffic shaping. If you change this option to policing, the NP7Lite processor uses policing using the TPE module to apply traffic shaping. One exception to this is that, for traffic shaping profiles applied to interfaces or IPsec VPN tunnels, even if the default-qos-type is shaping, NP7Lite processors apply traffic shaping using queuing with the QTM module.

For more information, see NP7 and NP7Lite (SOC5) traffic shaping.

A configuration change that causes a FortiGate to restart can disrupt the operation of an FGCP cluster. If possible, you should make this configuration change to the individual FortiGates before setting up the cluster. If the cluster is already operating, you should temporarily remove the secondary FortiGate(s) from the cluster, change the configuration of the individual FortiGates and then re-form the cluster. You can remove FortiGate(s) from a cluster using the Remove Device from HA cluster button on the System > HA GUI page. For more information, see Disconnecting a FortiGate.
