Rate Limiting Configuration Screen

To solve this problem, the Rate Limiting feature can be configured on each port to provide each user with 5 Mbps of high priority bandwidth into the fabric. Now the maximum possible amount of traffic attempting to leave the chassis at high priority is 5 x 100 = 500 Mbps. The gigabit link has ample capacity to carry this load out of the chassis. Similar provisioning calculations must be carried throughout the network all the way to the particular resources to which the service guarantee applies. The sum of the rate limits on all user ports cannot exceed the capacity of the weakest point in the delivery path to the resource.
