CLI – Use the interface command to select the monitor port, then use the port
monitor command to specify the source port. Note that default mirroring under the
CLI is for both received and transmitted packets.
Rate Limit Configuration
This function allows the network manager to control the maximum rate for traffic
transmitted or received on a port. Rate limiting is configured on ports at the edge of
a network to limit traffic into or out of the network. Traffic that falls within the rate limit
is transmitted, while packets that exceed the acceptable amount of traffic are
dropped.
Rate limiting can be applied to individual ports or trunks. When an interface is
configured with this feature, the traffic rate will be monitored by the hardware to
verify conformity. Non-conforming traffic is dropped, conforming traffic is forwarded
without any changes.
Command Usage
• Input and output rate limit can be enabled or disabled for individual interfaces.
• For Fast Ethernet interfaces, the rate limit range is 1-100 Mbps, in intervals of 1.
• For Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, the rate limit range is 1-1000 Mbps, in intervals
of 8.
