NETGEAR M7100, M4100 manual CLI Configure traffic-shape, Web Interface Configure Traffic Shaping

ProSafe M4100 and M7100 Managed Switches

command to enable traffic shaping by specifying the maximum transmission bandwidth limit for all interfaces (Global Config) or for a single interface (Interface Config).

The <bw> value is a percentage that ranges from 0 to 100 in increments of 5. The default bandwidth value is 0, meaning no upper limit is enforced, which allows the interface to transmit up to its maximum line rate.

The bw value is independent of any per-queue maximum bandwidth values in effect for the interface and should be considered as a second-level transmission rate control mechanism that regulates the output of the entire interface regardless of which queues originate the outbound traffic.

CLI: Configure traffic-shape

(Netgear Switch) (Config)#traffic-shape?

<bw>	Enter the shaping bandwidth percentage from 0 to 100
	in increments of 5.
(Netgear Switch) (Config)#traffic-shape 70?
<cr>	Press Enter to execute the command.

(Netgear Switch) (Config)#traffic-shape 70

(Netgear Switch) (Config)#
