7.7 Configuring Rate Limits
This function allows the network manager to control the maximum rate for traffic transmitted or received on
an interface. Rate limiting is configured on interfaces at the edge of a network to limit traffic coming out of
the switch. Traffic that falls within the rate limit is transmitted, while packets that exceed the acceptable
amount of traffic are dropped.
Rate limiting can be applied to individual ports or trunks. When an interface is configured with this feature,
the traffic rate will be monitored by the hardware to verify conformity. Non-conforming traffic is dropped,
conforming traffic is forwarded without any changes.
Command Attribute
Rate Limit – Sets the output rate limit for an interface.
Default Status – Disabled
Default Rate – 1000 Mbps
Range – 1 - 1000 Mbps
Configuring Switch Using the Web or CLI
Web
Click Rate – Limit Input/Output Port/Trunk Configuration. Set the Input Rate Limit Status or Output Rate
Limit Status, then set the rate limit for the individual interfaces, and click Apply.
CLI
This example sets the rate limit for input and output traffic passing through port 1 to 600 Mbps.
Console(config)#interface ethernet 1/1
Console(config-if)#rate-limit input 600
Console(config-if)#rate-limit output 600
Console(config-if)#
7.8 Showing Port Statistics
You can display standard statistics on network traffic from the Interfaces Group and Ethernet-like MIBs, as
well as a detailed breakdown of traffic based on the RMON MIB. Interfaces and Ethernet-like statistics
display errors on the traffic passing through each port. This information can be used to identify potential
