Figure 3-22. 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.
