8.3 Rate Limiter

8.3.1 Description Rate Limiter

To guarantee reliable data exchange during high traffic, the Switch can limit
traffic.
Entering a limit rate for each port determines the amount of traffic the switch
is permitted to transmit and receive.
If the data load transmitted on this port exeeds the maximum load, the Switch
will discard the excessive data on this port.
A global setting activates/deactivates the rate limiter function at all ports.
