Nortel Networks 450 manual Rate Limiting Configuration Screen 1

Using the BayStack 450 10/100/1000 Series Switch

Rate Limiting Configuration

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

Figures 3-21 and 3-22 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.
