KB.15.15

If you rate-limit multicast traffic on the same port, the multicast limit is also in effect for that port,

as shown in Figure 77. Only 20% of the multicast traffic will be forwarded.

Figure 77 Inbound multicast rate-limiting of 20% on port 3

To disable rate-limiting for a port enter the no form of the command, as shown in Figure 78.

Operating Notes

• This rate-limiting option does not limit unicast traffic.

• This option does not include outbound multicast rate-limiting.

Configuring Guaranteed Minimum Bandwidth (GMB) for outbound traffic

For any port or group of ports you can configure either the default minimum bandwidth settings

for each outbound priority queue or a customized bandwidth allocation. For most applications,

HP recommends configuring GMB with the same values on all ports on the switch so that the

outbound traffic profile is consistent for all outbound traffic. However, there may be instances

where it may be advantageous to configure special profiles on connections to servers or to the

network infrastructure (such as links to routers, other switches, or to the network core.)

Syntax

[no] int <port-list> bandwidth-min output

Configures the default minimum bandwidth allocation for the outbound priority queue for each

port in the port-list. In the eight-queue configuration, the default values per priority queue are:

• Queue 1 (low priority): 2%

• Queue 2 (low priority): 3%

• Queue 3 (normal priority): 30%

• Queue 4 (normal priority): 10%
