Usage
Information
rate-shape can be applied only as an aggregate policy. If it is applied as a class-based policy,
then rate-shape will not take effect.
On 40-port 10G linecards, if the traffic is shaped between 64 and 1000kbs, for some values
the shaped rate is much less than the value configured. Do not use values in this range for 10G
interfaces.
