Asante Technologies IC36240 Configuring Rate Limit, Monitoring the Traffic Shaping Configuration

8.4.2 Configuring Traffic Shaping for an Access List

To configure traffic shaping for outbound traffic on an access list, use the following commands beginning in global configuration mode:

Command	Purpose
access-listaccess-list-number	Assigns traffic to an access list.
interface interface-type-number	Enters interface configuration mode.
traffic-shape group access-list-number	Configures traffic shaping for outbound traffic on an interface
bit-rate	for the specified access list.

Repeat the steps for each type of traffic you want to rate limit.

8.4.3 Monitoring the Traffic Shaping Configuration

To monitor the current traffic shaping configuration and statistics, use the following commands in EXEC mode, as needed:

Command	Purpose
Show traffic-shape [interface-name]	Displays the current traffic shaping configuration.

8.4.4 Generic Traffic Shaping Example

This example configures that the DNS traffic to eth13 have maximum bandwidth of 50M.

Defining the access list:

Switch(config)# access-list 100 permit udp any any eq 53

Assigning the traffic shape to an interface:

router(config-if)#traffic-shape group 100 51200000

8.5 Configuring Rate Limit

To configure the committed access rate (CAR) policies use the rate-limit command. The rate-limit command allows you to control the amount of traffic coming in on a port.

Switch> enable
Switch# config
Switch(config)# inter eth1		?
Switch(config-if-eth1)# rate-limit
input Applies this CAR traffic		policy to packets received on this input interface
Switch(config-if-eth1)# rate-limit		input ?
<1-4294967295>	Average rate, in	bits per second (bps)
access-group	(Optional) Applies this CAR traffic policy to the specified access
	list
