• The range is:
- Fast Ethernet interface – 1 to 100 Mbps
- Gigabit Ethernet interface – 8 to 1000 Mbps
• Resolution – The increment of change:
- Fast Ethernet interface – 1 Mbps
- Gigabit Ethernet interface – 8 Mbps
• Due to a switch chip limitation, the input rate limit can only be enabled
or disabled for all interfaces. In other words, the rate limit input and
no rate limit input commands apply globally to the entire switch.
However, specific rates apply to the specified interface.
• The output rate limit can be enabled or disabled for specific interfaces.
