Rate Limiting Configuration Screen

9-40 802.1p Configuration Menu Screens

Priority List

– bottom of screen

(Selectable)

Assign one or more priorities to the port being configured. The settings

available are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or ALL. When the Priority List is

highlighted, the SPACE bar is used to step to the priority, which must

be marked with an asterisk (*) using the M key. More than one priority

may be selected and marked for each port.

NOTE: If there are two entries for Inbound traffic with the

same Port number (for example, Port 2 and Port 2), you

cannot assign the same priority to both Port Inbound entries.

This also holds true for two entries for Outbound traffic on the

same port.

The selected priorities can be cleared by stepping to each one and

pressing the M key.

For details on configuring a port, refer to Section 9.8.1.

Direction

– bottom of screen

(Toggle)

Toggle between Inbound and Outbound rate limiting. Inbound is the

default value. Up to four rate limit rules (entries) may be set per port,

two for Inbound and two for Outbound or any combination of the four

Inbound or Outbound. Inbound refers to traffic being received by the

switch module and Outbound refers to traffic leaving the switch

module.

Inbound configures the rate limit to drop frames when the traffic rate

(kbps) received by the switch port exceeds the setting in the Max Rate:

kbps field for a particular entry. If there are two or three priority port

entries set to Inbound, each entry functions independently. So, if the

Max Rate is exceeded in one entry, the frames in that entry are

dropped. However, if the traffic associated with another entry on the

same port is transmitting within its maximum rate setting, those frames

are not affected.

Outbound functions the same as the Inbound, except that the port is

configured to drop frames when the traffic rate (kbps) out of the port

exceeds the setting in the Max Rate: kbps field for a particular entry.
