ProLiant BL p-Class GbE Interconnect Switch Command Line Interface Reference Guide

Configuring the GbE Interconnect Switch using the Command Line Interface
Configuring Bandwidth
The GbE Interconnect Switch allows you to set a bandwidth limitation that restricts the
ingress (receiving) and egress (transmitting) packet rate for each port. If the packet rate
exceeds the allowed bandwidth rate, the excess packets will be dropped.
Bandwidth is configured in 1 to 127 units. Each unit is 117,481 bytes per second (around 0.94
Mb/s) for ports 1-24 and 939,850 bytes (about 7.52 Mb/s) for optional ports.
Adding and Configuring Restart Port Bandwidth Units
Use the following command to add and configure restart port bandwidth units:
Command Description
bandwidth add port <portlist>
{
[ingress <bw_units>]
[egress <bw_units>]
}
Adds a port to the restart ingress or egress
bandwidth table and configures the bandwidth
between 1 and 127 units of 117 Kbytes per
second. Zero (0) means disable bandwidth
control after restart.
Type the port number or numbers in the
command and one or both of the following
options:
• ingress <bw_units>—Type ingress and
the number of ingress bandwidth units. A
number between 1 and 127 is allowed.
• egress <bw_units>—Type egress and the
number of egress bandwidth units. A
number between 1 and 127 is allowed.
