Rate shaping overview
• On FastIron X Series devices, the configured outbound rate shaper (651 Kbps) on port 1/15 is
the maximum rate of outbound traffic that is sent out on that port, since 651 Kbps is a
multiple of 651 Kbps. The configured 1300 Kbps limit on port 14 is rounded up to 1302 Kbps.
• On Brocade FCX Series devices, the configured outbound rate shaper (651 Kbps) on port 1/15
is the rounded to 616 Kbps. The configured 1300 Kbps limit on port 14 is rounded to 1232
Kbps.
Syntax: [no] rate-limit output shaping ethernet <port> <value>
Specify the port variable in one of the following formats:
• FWS, FCX, and ICX stackable switches – stack-unit/slotnum/portnum
• FSX 800 and FSX 1600 chassis devices – slotnum/portnum
• ICX devices – slotnum/portnum
• FESX compact switches – portnum
Displaying rate shaping configurations
To display the configured outbound rate shaper on a device, enter the show rate-limit
output-shaping command.
The display lists the ports on a device, the configured outbound rate shaper on a port and for a
priority for a port.
