address (Destination Lookup Failure).

● Egress Rate kb/s

Note
Rounding of the values, deviation from desired value
When you input the rate values, note that the WBM rounds to correct values.
If values are configured for Total Ingress Rate and Egress Rate, the actual values in
operation can deviate slightly from the set values.
Steps in configuration
1. Enter the relevant values in the columns "Total Ingress Rate"and "Egress rate" in the row
of the port being configured.
2. To use the limitation for the incoming frames, select the check box in the row. For outgoing
frames, the value in the "Egress Rate" column is used.
3. Click the "Set Values" button.
