CoS ORL Port-Resource (Outbound Rate Limiter) (S-, K-Series)

Outbound rate limiting or rate policing simply drops or clips outbound traffic if a configured rate is exceeded. See Rate Limiting for a general discussion of rate limiting. CoS outbound rate limiting allows you to configure rate limits based on a unit rate (kilobits/second, megabits/second, gigabits/second), or percentage of the port‘s line speed. The ORL port-resource configuration allows you to enable sending syslog messages or traps once a rate limit is exceeded, as well as to disable the port.

The show cos port-resource orl command displays resources for each port group created along with the index, as described above. By default, no resources are configured for ORL port-resources. Rates displayed as none indicate no resources exist. The default rate limiting algorithm is tail-drop. The action field in the display indicates user-desired action for each syslog, trap, and port disable behavior when configured.

The following example displays default values for the show cos port-resource orl command output:

System(rw)->show cos port-resource orl
'?' after the rate value indicates an invalid rate value
