Conguring Port-Based Rate Policing
If the interface is a member of a VLAN, you may specify the VLAN for which ingress packets are policed.
• Rate policing ingress trac on an interface.

Example of the rate police Command
The following example shows conguring rate policing.
Dell#configure terminal
Dell(conf)#interface tengigabitethernet 1/1
Dell(conf-if-te-1/1)#rate police 100 40 peak 150 50
Dell(conf-if-te-1/1)#end
Dell#show interfaces tengigabitEthernet 1/2 rate police
 Rate police 300 (50) peak 800 (50)

Conguring Port-Based Rate Shaping
Rate shaping buers, rather than drops, trac exceeding the specied rate until the buer is exhausted. If any stream exceeds the 
congured bandwidth on a continuous basis, it can consume all of the buer space that is allocated to the port.
Dell Networking OS Behavior: Rate shaping is eectively rate limiting because of its smaller buer size. Rate shaping on tagged ports is 
slightly greater than the congured rate and rate shaping on untagged ports is slightly less than congured rate.
Rate shaping buers, rather than drops, trac exceeding the specied rate until the buer is exhausted. If any stream exceeds the 
congured bandwidth on a continuous basis, it can consume all of the buer space that is allocated to the port.
• Apply rate shaping to outgoing trac on a port.

• Apply rate shaping to a queue.

Example of rate shape Command
Dell#configure terminal

Dell(conf-if-te-1/1)#rate shape 500 50
