The following values are entered for egress shaping:
•
Committed Information Rate (CIR) sets the average maximum amount of data allowed to
be sent on the egress interface, measured in bits per second.
•
Committed Burst Size (CBS) is the burst of data that is allowed to be sent, even though it
is above the CIR. This is defined in number of bytes of data.
To enter bandwidth limitation:
1. Click
Configuration > Quality of Service > Configure > Bandwidth Control.
The Bandwidth page displays bandwidth information for each interface.
2. Select an interface, and click Edit.
3. Select the Port or LAG interface.
4. Enter the fields for the selected interface:
•
Ingress Rate Control—Select to enable the ingress rate limit, which is defined in
the field below.
•
Ingress Rate Limit—Enter the maximum amount of bandwidth allowed on the
interface.
•
Ingress Committed Burst Size—Enter the maximum burst size of data for the
ingress interface in bytes of data. This amount can be sent even if it temporarily
increases the bandwidth beyond the allowed limit. This field is only available if the
interface is a port.
Note
—The above Ingress Rate Limit fields do not appear when the interface type
is LAG.
•
Egress Shaping Control—Select to enable egress shaping on the interface.
•
Egress Committed Information Rate—Enter the maximum bandwidth for the
egress interface.
•
Egress Committed Burst Size (CBS)—Enter the maximum burst size of data for the
egress interface in bytes of data. This amount can be sent even if it temporarily
increases the bandwidth beyond the allowed limit.
5. Click Apply. The bandwidth settings are written to the Running Configuration file.
