Rate shaping overview
16
On PowerConnect B-Series TI24X devices, you can specify a value up to the port line rate for
<value>.
Configuring outbound rate shaping for a specific priority
To configure the maximum rate at which outbound traffic is sent out on a port priority queue, enter
commands such as the following.
PowerConnect(config)#interface e 2
PowerConnect(config-if-e10000-2)#rate-limit output shaping 500 priority 7
On PowerConnect B-Series TI24X devices, the configured 500 Kbps limit for outbound traffic
on Priority queue 7 on port 2 is rounded up to the nearest multiple of 504 Kbps, which is 504
Kbps.
Syntax: [no] rate-limit output shaping <value> priority <priority-queue>
On PowerConnect B-Series TI24X devices, you can specify a value up to the port line rate for
<value>.
Specify 0-7 for <priority-queue>
Configuring outbound rate shaping for a trunk port
This feature is supported on individual ports of a static trunk group. However, it is not supported on
LACP trunk ports on PowerConnect B-Series TI24X devices.
To configure the maximum rate at which outbound traffic is sent out on a trunk port, enter the
following on each trunk port where outbound traffic will be shaped.
PowerConnect(config)#trunk e 13 to 16
PowerConnect(config-trunk-13-16)#config-trunk-ind
PowerConnect(config-trunk-13-16)#rate-limit output shaping ethe 15 651
PowerConnect(config-trunk-13-16)#rate-limit output shaping ethe 14 1300
The above commands configure an outbound rate shaper on port 14 and port 15.
On PowerConnect B-Series TI24X devices, the configured outbound rate shaper of 651 Kbps
on port 15 is rounded up to 704 Kbps. The configured outbound rate shaper of 1300 on port
14 is rounded up to 1344 Kpbs.
Syntax: [no] rate-limit output shaping ethernet <portnum> <value>
On PowerConnect B-Series TI24X devices, you can specify a <value> up to the port line rate.
Displaying rate shaping configurations
To display the configured outbound rate shaper on a device, enter the following command.
The display lists the ports on a device, the configured outbound rate shaper on a port and for a
priority for a port.
