quality, sluggish response times during online activity, and other problems.
You also can set port rate limits (the same feature) as part of the Quality of Service
configuration on the switch (see Set the quality of service mode and port rate limits on
page 22).
To set rate limits for incoming and outgoing traffic on a port:

Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the
switch, or connected directly to the switch through an Ethernet cable.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the switch.

name and password are case-sensitive.
The HOME page displays.
The PORT STATUS pane displays on the right or the bottom of the HOME page,
depending on the size of your browser window.
A port that is in use shows as UP. A port that is not in use shows as AVAILABLE.

The pane displays detailed information about the port.
5. Click the EDIT button.
The EDIT PORT page displays for the selected port.
