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]][,...]}] {broadcast | multicast}
no rate-limit [port {slot/port[/sub-port][-slot/port[/sub-port]][,...]}] {broadcast | multicast}
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

broadcast {<1-65535> | <50-65000000>}: Rate limit for broadcast and unknown unicast.
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).

Command Mode

GigabitEthernet Interface Configuration

Usage Guidelines

The <50-65000000> range is only supported on VSP 8600 Series.

This command does not apply to all hardware platforms. For more information about feature support, see VOSS User Guide.
