8.3.3.2 set port ratelimit
Use this command to configure the traffic rate limiting status and threshold (in kilobytes per second)
for one or more ports.
set port ratelimit {disable | enable} | port-string priority threshold {disable |
enable} [inbound] [index]
Syntax Description
Command Defaults
• If not specified, threshold will be applied to inbound traffic on the port/priority.
• If index is not specified, settings will be applied to index 1, and will overwrite

• 0 - 7, with 0 specifying the lowest priority, and
• all to set the rate limiting threshold and other
parameters on all port priority levels associated with
the port-string.
threshold Specifies a port rate limiting threshold in kilobytes per
second. Range is 64 up to the maximum bytes per second
rate for a given interface.
