Rate Limit Commands 4

Rate Limit Commands

This function allows the network manager to control the maximum rate for traffic received on an interface. Rate limiting is configured on interfaces at the edge of a network to limit traffic into the network. Packets that exceed the acceptable amount of traffic are dropped.

Rate limiting can be applied to individual ports or trunks. When an interface is configured with this feature, the traffic rate will be monitored by the hardware to verify conformity. Non-conforming traffic is dropped.
