4.4.1.6 Ports: Rate Limits
Port Rate Limiting is supported on the Multinet4. This feature limits the ingress and egress
throughput on a port. On ingress, various classes of packets can be limited. The user may
choose to limit only broadcast packets, broadcast and multicast packets, all flooded
packets (which includes unicast packets with destinations not found in the station cache),
or all packets. On egress, all packet types are limited. Rate limits are configured as pre-
defined values.
This screen enables you to view and edit the parameters that control port rate limits.

Field Name
Field Value
Port ID:
Uniquely identifies a logical Ethernet port that corresponds to a
physical, labeled interface on the exterior of the product
chassis. The Port ID string should exactly match the physical
labeling scheme.
Copy to:
Uniquely identifies the logical Ethernet port to which packets
ingressing and egressing on this port will be copied.
The default is "None," indicating that packets for the port are
not copied to any other port.
