multiple of 64.
committed-
rate
Enter the bandwidth in Mbps. The range is 0 to 10000.
burst-KB (OPTIONAL) Enter the burst size in KB. The range is 16 to
200000. The default is 50.

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.
