Figure 80 Rate Limiting Configuration screen (2 of 2)
You can use this screen to view the percentage of either packet type (or both
packet types) received on each port.
When the volume of either packet type is high, placing severe strain on the
network (often referred to as a “storm”), you can set the forwarding rate of those
packet types to not exceed a specified percentage of the total available bandwidth.
The percentage you set refers to the total available bandwidth, not to a percentage
of current traffic. Table 36 describes the Rate Limiting Configuration screen
fields.
