Usage
Information
NOTE: Per Port rate limit and rate police is supported for Layer 2 tagged and untagged
switched traffic and for Layer 3 traffic. Per VLAN rate limit and rate police is supported on
only tagged ports with Layer 2 switched traffic.
On one interface, you can configure the rate police command for a VLAN or you can
configure the rate police command for an interface. For each physical interface, you can
configure three
rate police commands specifying different VLANS.
For each physical interface, you can configure six rate police commands specifying
different VLANS.
After configuring VLANs in the rate police command, if this error message appears:
%Error: Specified VLANs overlap with existing config. check to see if
the same VLANs are used with the rate limit command on other interfaces. To clear the
problem, remove the
rate limit configuration(s), and re-configure the rate police
command. After the rate police command is configured, return to the other interfaces
and re-apply the rate limit configuration.
