Rate Limit Commands

This function allows the network manager to control the maximum rate for traffic transmitted or received on an interface. Rate limiting is configured on interfaces at the edge of a network to limit traffic into or out of the network. Traffic that falls within the rate limit is transmitted, while 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, conforming traffic is forwarded without any changes.

specifying a rate to restore the
default rate limit level.	Default Settings:
Use the no form to restore the	• Fast Ethernet interface – 100 Mbps
default status of disabled.	• Gigabit Ethernet interface – 1000 Mbps
	Command Mode: Interface Configuration (Ethernet, Port Channel)
	Command Usage:
	The range is:
	• Fast Ethernet interface – 1 to 100 Mbps
	• Gigabit Ethernet interface – 8 to 1000 Mbps
	Resolution – The increment of change:
	• Fast Ethernet interface – 1 Mbps
	• Gigabit Ethernet interface – 8 Mbps
