Fixed rate limiting on inbound port configuration
Fixed rate limiting on inbound port configuration
Inbound rate limiting allows you to specify the maximum number of Kbps a given port can receive.
Minimum and maximum inbound rate limits
Table 324 lists the minimum and maximum inbound rate limits on GbE and 10-GbE ports
.
Configuration notes for fixed rate limiting
Inbound rate limiting is supported on:
• GbE ports
• 10-GbE ports
• Trunk ports
Inbound rate limiting is not supported on:
• Ports on which LACP is enabled
• Virtual interfaces
• Loopback interfaces
Fixed rate limiting is supported on:
• inbound ports only
Fixed rate limiting is not supported on:
• 10 Gbps Ethernet ports
• Tagged ports in the base Layer 3 and full Layer 3 images
Configuration syntax for fixed rate limiting
To configure inbound rate limiting on a port, enter commands such as the following.
Brocade(config)#interface ethernet 0/2/1
Brocade(config-if-e10000-0/2/1)#rate-limit input fixed 1000000
Rate Limiting on Port 0/2/1 - Config: 1000000 Kbps, Actual: 1000000 Kbps
The above commands configure a fixed rate limiting policy that allows port 0/2/1, a 10-GbE port, to
receive a maximum of 1000000 kilobits per second. If the port receives additional bits during a
given one-second interval, the port drops all inbound packets on the port until the next one-second
interval starts.
Brocade(config)#interface ethernet 0/1/10
Brocade(config-if-e1000-0/1/10)#rate-limit input fixed 1000
Rate Limiting on Port 0/1/10 - Config: 1000 Kbps, Actual: 1000 Kbps
