Traffic Shaping
You can use the Traffi c Sha pin g page to smooth the packet output rate. You can
configure the maximum output rate for each port and LAG, expressed as a
percentage of bandwidth. When the traffic rate reaches this limit, excess packets
are retained in a queue and then are scheduled for later transmission over
increments of time.
To configure traffic shaping on a port or LAG:
STEP 1 Click Quality of Service > Traffic Shaping in the navigation window.
STEP 2 Use the Interface Type menu to display Ports or LAGs in the Traffic Shaping
Settings table.
STEP 3 Select the interface to configure and click Edit.
STEP 4 For the selected Port or LAG, enter the output rate limit as a percentage of the total
bandwidth and click Apply.
STEP 5 Repeat the previous step as needed to assign bandwidth utilization to other ports
and LAGs.
STEP 6 When you are finished, click Close. Your changes are saved to the Running
Configuration.
