Parameters
kbps Enter the keyword kbps to specify the committed rate limit in Kilobits per second
(Kbps). Specify this value as a multiple of 64. The range is from 0 to 40000000.
The default granularity is Megabits per second (Mbps).
pps Enter the keyword pps to specify the committed rate limit in packets per second
(pps). The range is from 1 to 268000000. The default granularity is Megabits per
second (Mbps).
committed-rate
Define the committed rate, which is the guaranteed or minimum confirmed rate for
the packets. Specify this value as a multiple of 64 if you specify the committed rate
in Kbps. The range is from 0 to 40000000. The range is from 1 to 268000000 for
pps. The range is from 0 to 40000 for Mbps (which is the default measure for rate
limits if you do not explicitly configure Kbps or pps)
burst-KB
(OPTIONAL) Enter the committed burst size in KB. The range is from 0 to 10000.
The default is 50 KB. The default peak burst is regarded as the same value as the
configured committed burst size.
Packets
(OPTIONAL) Enter the committed burst size as a count of packets. The range is
from 1 to 1073000. The default is 50 packets. The default peak rate is regarded as
the same value as the configured committed rate.
peak-rate
Define the peak rate, which is the guaranteed or minimum confirmed rate for the
packets. Specify this value as a multiple of 64 if you specify the peak rate in Kbps.
The range is from 0 to 40000000 for Kbps. The range is from 1 to 268000000 for
pps. The range is from 0 to 40000 for Mbps (which is the default measure for rate
limits if you do not explicitly configure Kbps or pps)
kbps Enter the keyword kbps to specify the peak rate limit in Kilobits per second (Kbps).
Specify this value as a multiple of 64. The range is from 0 to 40000000. The
default granularity is Megabits per second (Mbps).
pps Enter the keyword pps to specify the peak rate limit in packets per second (pps).
The range is from 1 to 268000000. The default granularity is Megabits per second
(Mbps).
peak-rate
Define the peak rate, which is the guaranteed or minimum confirmed rate for the
packets. Specify this value as a multiple of 64 if you specify the peak rate in Kbps.
The range is from 0 to 40000000 for Kbps. The range is from 1 to 268000000 for
pps. The range is from 0 to 40000 for Mbps (which is the default measure for rate
limits if you do not explicitly configure Kbps or pps)
burst-KB
(OPTIONAL) Enter the peak burst size in KB. The range is from 0 to 10000. The
default is 50 KB.
Packets
(OPTIONAL) Enter the peak burst size as a count of packets. The range is from
1 to 1073000. The default is 50 packets. The default peak rate is regarded as the
same value as the configured peak rate.
Default Granularity for rate is Mbps unless you use the kbps option.

Version Description
9.10(0.1) Introduced on the S6010-ON and S4048T-ON.
9.10(0.0) Introduced on the S6100-ON.
9.8(1.0) Introduced on the Z9100-ON.
9.7(0.0) Introduced on the S6000-ON.

of rate limits on the S6000 platform.
Usage
Information
If you specify the pps keyword after the rate-shape command, the peak rate, peak burst, committed
rate and committed burst are all considered to be values as a measure of packets. If you do not specify
the pps or kbps keyword, the peak and committed rate settings are considered to be values in Mbps.
