Rate Limit Commands
This function allows the network manager to control the maximum rate for traffic
received on an interface. Rate limiting is configured on interfaces at the edge of a
network to limit traffic into the network. Packets that exceed the acceptable amount
of traffic are dropped.
Rate limiting can be applied to individual ports or trunks. 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.
rate-limit
Use this command to define the rate limit level for a specific interface. Use this
command without specifying a rate to restore the default rate limit. Use the
no form
to restore the default status of disabled.
