Nortel Networks 10BASE-T manual Rate Limiting Configuration Screen 1

Using the Console Interface

Rate Limiting Configuration

The Rate Limiting Configuration screen allows you to limit the forwarding rate of broadcast and IP multicast packets.

Figures 3-29 and 3-30 show sample rate limiting values for the two Rate Limiting Configuration screens.

Note: If a port is configured for rate limiting, and it is a MultiLink trunk member, all trunk member ports implement rate limiting. Also, if a trunk member is implementing rate limiting and the port is disabled from rate limiting, all trunk members are disabled from rate limiting.

Choose Rate Limiting Configuration (or press l) from the Switch Configuration Menu screen to open the Rate Limiting Configuration screen.
