The rate includes a number or the word unlimited. The number can include a tag for bits or
bytes per second. Do not use a space between the number and the bits or bytes specification. For
example, 2000KB. The default rate is bits per second. In the rate variable:
bps or b equals raw bits per second
•
Kbps, Kb, or K equals 1024 bits per second
•
Bps or B equals bytes per second
•
KBps or KB equals 1024 bytes per second
•
The rate can also be 0 (the zero character), disable, or disabled. Each stops replication until the
next rate change.
For example, the following command limits replication to 20 kilobytes per second starting on
Mondays and Thursdays at 6:00 a.m.
# replication throttle add mon thu 0600 20KB
Replication runs at the given rate until the next scheduled change or until new throttle commands
force a change. The default rate with no scheduled changes is to run as fast as possible at all times.
The add operation may change the current rate. For example, if on Monday at Noon, the current
rate is 20 KB, and the schedule that set the current rate started on mon 0600, a new schedule change
for Monday at 1100 at a rate of 30 KB (mon 1100 30KB) makes the change immediately.
Note The system enforces a minimum rate of 98,304 bits per second (12 KB).
Delete a Scheduled Throttle Event
To remove one or more throttle schedule entries, use the throttle del operation.
replication throttle del sched-spec
The sched-spec must include:
One or more three-letter days of the week (such as mon, tue, or wed) or the word daily to delete
•
all entries for the given time.
A time of day in 24 hour military time.
•
For example, the following command removes an entry for Mondays at 1100:
# replication throttle del mon 1100
The command may change the current rate. For example, assume that on Monday at Noon, the
current rate is 30 KB, and the schedule that set the current rate started on mon 1100. If you now
delete the scheduled change for Monday at 1100 (mon 1100), the replication rate immediately
changes to the next previous scheduled change, such as mon 0600 20KB.
