Table 253 VM Bandwidth Management Options
Command Syntax and Usage
virt vmpolicy vmbwidth [<MAC address>|<UUID>|<name>|
<IP address>|<index number>] txrate <64-10000000>
The first value configures Committed Rate—the amount of bandwidth available to traffic
transmitted from the VM to the switch, in kilobits per second. Enter the value in multiples
of 64.
The second values configures the maximum burst size, in Kilobits. Enter one of the following
values: 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096.
The third value represents the ACL assigned to the transmission rate. The ACL is
automatically, in sequential order, if not specified by the user. If there are no available ACLs,
the TXrate cannot be configured. Each TXrate configuration reduces the number of available
ACLs by one.
