Usage
Information
On one interface, you can configure the rate limit or rate police command for a VLAN or you
can configure the rate limit or the rate police command for the interface. For each physical
interface, you can configure six rate limit commands specifying different VLANS.
If you receive the error message:
%Error: Specified VLANs overlap with existing config.
After configuring VLANs in the rate police command, check to see if the same VLANs are
used in rate limit command on other interfaces. To clear the problem, remove the rate limit
configuration(s), and re-configure the rate police command. After the rate police command is
configured, return to the other interfaces and re-apply the rate limit configuration.
kbps
Enter this keyword to specify the rate limit in Kilobits per second (Kbps).
On the E-Series, Force10 recommends using a value greater than or equal to
512 as lower values does not yield accurate results.The default granularity
is Megabits per second (Mbps).
Range: 0 to 10000000
committed-rate
Enter the bandwidth in Mbps
Range: 0 to 10000
burst-KB
(OPTIONAL) Enter the burst size in KB.
Range: 16 to 200000
Default: 50
peak peak-rate
(OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword peak followed by a number to specify the
peak rate in Mbps.
Range: 0 to 10000
vlan vlan-id (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword vlan followed by a VLAN ID to limit
traffic to those specific VLANs.
Range: 1 to 4094
Version 8.2.1.0 Added kbps option on E-Series.
Version 7.7.1.0 Removed from C-Series
Version 7.5.1.0 Introduced on C-Series
pre-Version 6.1.1.1 Introduced on E-Series
Note: Per Port rate limit and rate police is supported for Layer 2 tagged and
untagged switched traffic and for Layer 3 traffic. Per VLAN rate limit and rate police is
supported on only tagged ports with Layer 2 switched traffic.
