5.2.6 Setting rate limits
This function allows the network manager to control the maximum rate for traffic transmitted
or received on an interface. Rate limiting is configured on interfaces at the edge of a network
to limit traffic into or outof the switch. Traffic that falls within the rate limit is transmitted, while
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, conforming traffic is forwarded without any changes.
