rate-limit

Configure broadcast and multicast bandwidth limiting to limit the amount of ingress broadcast and multicast traffic on a port. The switch drops traffic that violates the bandwidth limit.

Syntax

default rate-limit broadcast
default rate-limit multicast
default rate-limit port {slot/port[/sub-port][-slot/port[/sub-port]][,...]} broadcast
default rate-limit port {slot/port[/sub-port][-slot/port[/sub-port]][,...]} multicast
no rate-limit broadcast
no rate-limit multicast
no rate-limit port {slot/port[/sub-port][-slot/port[/sub-port]][,...]} broadcast
no rate-limit port {slot/port[/sub-port][-slot/port[/sub-port]][,...]} multicast
rate-limit broadcast {<1-65535> | <50-65000000>}
rate-limit broadcast <1-65535>
rate-limit multicast {<1-65535> | <50-65000000>}
rate-limit multicast <1-65535>
rate-limit port {slot/port[/sub-port][-slot/port[/sub-port]][,...]} broadcast {<1-65535> | <50-65000000>}
rate-limit port {slot/port[/sub-port][-slot/port[/sub-port]][,...]} multicast {<1-65535> | <50-65000000>}

Command Parameters

<1-65535>: Specifies the bandwidth limit for broadcast and multicast traffic from 1-65535 packets per second.
broadcast {<1-65535> | <50-65000000>}: Rate limit for broadcast. Range depends on hardware platform.
multicast {<1-65535> | <50-65000000>}: Rate limit for multicast. Range depends on hardware platform.
port {slot/port[/sub-port] [-slot/port[/sub-port]] [,...]}: Identifies the slot and port in one of the following formats: a single slot and port (slot/port), a range of slots and ports (slot/port-slot/port), or a series of slots and ports (slot/port,slot/port,slot/port). If the platform supports channelization and the port is channelized, you must also specify the sub-port in the format slot/port/sub-port.

Default

The default is disabled (no rate limit).
