Rate Police - Dell Force10 S4810P Reference Manual

Usage
Information
On one interface, you can configure the rate limit or rate police command for a
VLAN or you can configure the rate limit or the rate police command for the
interface. For each physical interface, you can configure six rate limit commands specifying
different VLANS.
If you receive the error message: %Error: Specified VLANs overlap with
existing config. after configuring VLANs in the rate police command, check to
see if the same VLANs are used in rate limit command on other interfaces. To clear the
problem, remove the rate limit configuration(s) and re-configure the rate police
command. After the rate police command is configured, return to the other interfaces
and re-apply the rate limit configuration.
