set flowlimit limit

Use this command to set a flow limit that will trigger an action for a port user classification.

Syntax

set flowlimit {limit1 limit | limit2 limit} [class-index | userport | serverport | aggregateduser | interswitchlink | unspecified]

Parameters

limit1 | limit2 Specifies this configuration as limit 1 or 2. Two limits assigned to two actions (describing what will occur when a certain flow limit is reached) can be defined per user classification.
limit Specifies the number of flows that will trigger the associated action configuration. Valid values are 0 - 4294967295.
class-index Specifies a numeric value for the class user classification type. Valid values are from 0 - 4294967295.
userport | serverport | aggregateduser | interswitchlink | unspecified (Optional) Assigns this limit configuration to the user classification port type:
  • userport - An edge port with a single attached user.
  • serverport - A port with a server attached to it.
  • aggregateduser - An edge port with multiple users attached to it.
  • interswitchlink - A high speed interconnect port between switches or routers.
  • unspecified - A port for which the intended usage is unknown.

Defaults

If classification port type is not specified, the specified limit is applied to all port types.

Mode

All command modes.

Usage

Once configured, this limit can be associated with an action using the set flowlimit action command as described in set flowlimit action. This limit can be assigned to one or more ports using the set flowlimit port class command as described in set flowlimit port.

Example

This example shows how to set the flow limit 1 to 12 flows on ports classified as user ports:

System(rw)->set flowlimit limit1 12 userport
