Rate Limit Granularity

Rate limit granularity is an additional feature enabling the network manager greater control over traffic on the network. The “rate limit granularity” is multiplied by the “rate limit level” (page 3-84) to set the actual rate limit for an interface. Granularity is a global setting that applies to Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet interfaces.

Command Usage

•For Fast Ethernet interfaces, the rate limit granularity can be set to 512 Kbps, 1 Mbps, or 3.3 Mbps

•For Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, the rate limit granularity is 33.3 Mbps.

Web – Click Port, Rate Limit, Granularity. Select the required rate limit granularity for Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet, and click apply.

Rate Limit Configuration

Use the rate limit configuration pages to apply rate limiting.

Command Usage

• Input and output rate limit can be enabled or disabled for individual interfaces.

Command Attributes

•Port/Trunk – Displays the port number.

•Rate Limit Status – Enables or disables the rate limit. (Default: Disabled)

•Rate Limit Level – Sets the rate limit level. (Range: 1-30: Default: 30)

Note: Actual rate limit = Rate Limit Level * Granularity
