rate-limit

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

Syntax

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

Command Parameters

broadcast <1-65535>

Rate limit for broadcast.

multicast <1-65535>

Rate limit for multicast.

unknown-unicast <1-65535>

Rate limit for unknown unicast.

port {slot/port[/sub-port][-slot/port[/sub-port]][,...][slot/all][all]}

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)
a series of slots and ports (slot/port,slot/port,slot/port)
all ports on the same slot (slot/all)
all ports on the switch (all)

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).
