ONFIGURATION
Use the Traffic > Rate Limit page to apply rate limiting to ingress or egress
ports. This function allows the network manager to control the maximum
rate for traffic received or transmitted on an interface. Rate limiting is
configured on interfaces at the edge of a network to limit traffic into or out
of the network. Packets that exceed the acceptable amount of traffic are
dropped.
Rate limiting can be applied to individual ports. When an interface is
configured with this feature, the traffic rate will be monitored by the
hardware to verify conformity. Non-conforming traffic is dropped,
conforming traffic is forwarded without any changes.
