COMMAND LINE INTERFACE

rate-limit

Use this command to define the rate limit for a specific interface. Use this command without specifying a rate to restore the default rate. Use the no form to restore the default status of disabled.

Syntax

rate-limit {input output} [rate] no rate-limit {input output}

•input – Input rate

•output – Output rate

•rate – Maximum value in Mbps.

Default Setting

Fast Ethernet interface – 100 Mbps

Gigabit Ethernet interface – 1000 Mbps

Command Mode

Interface Configuration (Ethernet, Port Channel)

Command Usage

•The range is:

-Fast Ethernet interface – 1 to 100 Mbps

-Gigabit Ethernet interface – 8 to 1000 Mbps

•Resolution – The increment of change:

-Fast Ethernet interface – 1 Mbps

-Gigabit Ethernet interface – 8 Mbps

•Due to a switch chip limitation, the input rate limit can only be enabled or disabled for all interfaces. In other words, the rate limit input and no rate limit input commands apply globally to the entire switch.

However, specific rates apply to the specified interface.

•The output rate limit can be enabled or disabled for specific interfaces.

Example

Console(config)#interface ethernet 1/1

Console(config-if)#rate-limit input 10

Console(config-if)#

4-136
