configure ports rate-limit egress
Description
Configures an egress traffic rate limit for a port or groups of ports.
Syntax Description
port_list | Specifies one or more ports or slots and ports. |
no-limit | Specifies traffic be transmitted without limit; use to reconfigure or unconfigure previous rate-limiting parameters. |
cir-rate | Specifies the desired rate limit in Kbps, Mbps, or Gbps. |
max-burst-size | Specifies the maximum burst size or peak burst size in kilobits (Kb) or megabits (Mb). |
Default
No-limit.
Usage Guidelines
-
1 Gbps port—64 Kbps increments.
-
10 Gbps port—1 Mbps increments.
If the specified egress limit (cir-rate) is not a multiple of 64 Kbps for a 1 Gbps port or 1 Mbps for a 10Gbps port, the specified value is rounded down to the nearest appropriate multiple based on the port type.
-
Unconfigure egress rate limiting on the port(s).
-
Reconfigure existing egress rate limiting on the port(s).
The max-burst-size parameter is the amount of traffic above the value in the cir-rate parameter that is allowed to burst from the port(s) for a short duration. If max-burst-size has been configured as "0", then it will use maximum available burst value.
Example
configure port 1 rate-limit egress 3 Mbps max-burst-size 5 Mb
