4-2-13 Rate Limit

Function name:

Ingress and Egress Bandwidth Setting

Function description:

Ingress and Egress Bandwidth Setting function is used to set up the limit of Ingress or Egress bandwidth for each port.

Parameter description:

Ingress:

Set up the limit of Ingress bandwidth for the port you choose. Incoming traffic will be discarded if the rate exceeds the value you set up in Data Rate field. Pause frames are also generated if flow control is enabled. The format of the packet limits to unicast, broadcast and multicast. Valid value of Port 1~24 ranges from 128~3968 kbps.

Default: No Limit Egress:

Set up the limit of Egress bandwidth for the port you choose. Outgoing traffic will be discarded if the rate exceeds the value you set up in Data Rate field. Pause frames are also generated if flow control is enabled. The format of the packet limits to unicast, broadcast and multicast. Valid value of Port 1~24 ranges from 128~3968 kbps.

Default: No Limit
