8.1 Configuring Rate Limit
Use the Traffic > Rate Limit page to apply rate limiting to egress ports. This function allows
the network manager to control the maximum rate for traffic transmitted on an interface. Rate
limiting is configured on interfaces at the edge of a network to limit traffic out of the
network. Packets that exceed the acceptable amount of traffic are dropped.
Rate limiting can be applied to individual ports. When an interface is configured with this
feature, the traffic rate will be monitored by the hardware to verify conformity.
Non-conforming traffic is dropped, conforming traffic is forwarded without any changes.
To configure rate limits:
1. Click Traffic, Rate Limit.
2. Enable the Rate Limit Status for the required ports.
3. Set the rate limit for the individual ports,.
4. Click Apply.
