Configuring Bandwidth
The
Bandwidth Page
allows network managers to define the bandwidth settings for specified egress
and ingress interfaces.
Rate Limits and Shaping are defined per interface:
• Rate Limit sets the maximum bandwidth allowed on ingress interfaces.
• Shaping Rate sets the maximum bandwidth allowed on egress interfaces. On GE ports,
traffic shape for burst traffic (CbS) can also be defined.
Bandwidth Page
The
Bandwidth Page
contains the following fields:
•
Ports/LAG
— Specifies whether the bandwidth settings are displayed for ports or for LAGs.
•
Interface
— Indicates the interface for which this bandwidth information is displayed.
•
Ingress Rate Limit
— Indicates the traffic limit for ingress interfaces. The possible field values
are:
–
Status
— Enables or disables rate limiting for ingress interfaces.
Disable
is the default
value.
–
Rate Limit
— Defines the rate limit for ingress ports. Defines the amount of bandwidth
assigned to the interface.
For FE ports, the rate is 62 - 100,000 Kbps.
For GE ports, the rate is 62 - 1,000,000 Kbps.
•
Egress Shaping Rates
— Indicates the traffic shaping type, if enabled, for egress ports. The
possible field values are:
