Interface Shaping - Nortel 4524GT Configuration

Each port can belong to only one interface group. The web-based interface
for QoS uses the term Interface Configurations for this function. One policy
references only one interface group; however, you can configure several
policies to reference the same interface group.
When you move a port to another interface group (role combination), the
classification elements associated with the previous interface group are
removed and the classifications elements associated with the new interface
group are installed on the port.
If assigning a port that is part of a MultiLink Trunk (MLT) to an interface group,
only that port joins the interface group. The other ports in the MLT do not become
part of the interface group (role combination) automatically.
At factory default, ports are assigned to the default interface group (role
combination), which is named allQoSPolicyIfcs. Each port is associated
with the default interface group, until a port is either associated with another
interface group or the port is removed from all interface groups. Ports that
are not associated with any interface group are disabled for QoS; they
remain disabled across reboots until that port is assigned to an interface
group or the switch is reset to factory defaults (when it is reassigned to
allQosPolicyIfcs).
All ports must be removed from an interface group before it is deleted. An
interface group cannot be deleted when it is referenced by a policy.

Interface shaping

Interface shaping involves limiting the rate at which all traffic egressing
through a specific interface is transmitted on to the network.
Interface shaping ensures that the limited bandwidth resources are used
efficiently by the traffic generation rate at egress.
Shaping for each interface provides full control over bandwidth or
consumption on your networks. Shaping interface-based in conjunction
with ingress flow metering, is a vital component of the overall bandwidth
management solution.
