Concept Guide
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.
INTERFACE mode
rate police
Example of the rate police Command
The following example shows conguring rate policing.
DellEMC#configure terminal
DellEMC(conf)#interface tengigabitethernet 1/1/1
DellEMC(conf-if-te-1/1/1)#rate police 100 40 peak 150 50
DellEMC(conf-if-te-1/1/1)#end
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 EMC 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.
INTERFACE mode
rate shape
• Apply rate shaping to a queue.
QoS Policy mode
rate-shape
Example of rate shape Command
DellEMC#configure terminal
DellEMC(conf)#interface tengigabitethernet 1/1/1
DellEMC(conf-if-te-1/1/1)#rate shape 500 50
DellEMC(conf-if-te-1/1/1)#end
