Configure the Port-Based Shaper

Use port-based shaping to rate-limit all outgoing traffic to a specific rate.

Procedure

Enter GigabitEthernet Interface Configuration mode:

enable

configure terminal

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

Note

If the platform supports channelization and the port is channelized, you must also specify the sub-port in the format slot/port/sub-port.
Configure port-based shaping:

qos if-shaper [port {slot/port[/sub-port][-slot/port[/sub-port]][,...][slot/all][all]}] shape-rate WORD<1000-100000000>

The following table defines parameters for the qos if-shaper command.


Variable	Value
port `{slot/port[/sub-port][-slot/port[/sub-port]][,...][slot/all][all]}`	Specifies the slot and port number to which to apply shaping. This variable is optional. 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.
shape-rate WORD<1000-100000000>	Specifies the shaping rate in Kb/s. If you try to configure a limit that is too high for the port speed, the switch displays the following message: `Error: port slot/port, The QOS Egress shaper rate can not exceed the port capability`. The default is 0, which means shaping is disabled on the port.
