Configuring Egress Traffic

The default behavior is to have no limit on the egress traffic per port. To configure egress rate limiting, use the following command:
configure ports [port_list | port_group]rate-limit egress [no-limit | cir-rate [Kbps | Mbps | Gbps] {max-burst-size burst-size [Kb | Mb]}]
To view the configured egress port rate-limiting behavior, use the following command.
show port {mgmt | port_list | tag tag} information {detail}

You must use the detail parameter to display the egress port rate configuration and, if configured, the maximum burst size. Refer to Displaying Port Information for more information on the show ports information command.

You can also display this information using the following command:

show configuration vlan
The following is sample output from the show configuration vlan command for configured egress rate limiting:
```
# Module vlan configuration.
#
configure vlan Default tag 1
config port 3:1 rate-limit egress 128 Kbps max-burst-size 200 Kb
config port 3:2 rate-limit egress 128 Kbps
config port 3:10 rate-limit egress 73 Kbps max-burst-size 128 Kb
configure vlan Default add ports 3:1-48 untagged
```
Note
Refer to FDB for more information on limiting broadcast, multicast, or unknown MAC traffic ingressing the port.
