QoS Tab - Bandwidth
This function allows the network manager to control the maximum rate for traffic transmitted
or received on an interface. Rate limiting is configured on interfaces at the edge of a network to
limit traffic coming out of the switch. Traffic that falls within the rate limit is transmitted, while
packets that exceed the acceptable amount of traffic are dropped.
Rate limiting can be applied to individual ports or LAGs. When an interface is configured with
this feature, the traffic rate is monitored by the hardware to verify conformity. Non-conforming
traffic is dropped, and conforming traffic is forwarded without any changes.
Port—Displays the port or LAG number.
Status—Enables the rate limit (input or output) for the port or LAG. (Default: Disabled)
Rate Limit (Kbits/sec)—Sets the rate limit level for the port or LAG. For Fast Ethernet ports the
default is 100000Kbits/sec (Range: 64-100000). For Gigabit Ethernet ports the default is
1000000Kbits/sec (Range: 64-1000000).
LAG—Indicates if ports are members of a LAG. To configure a rate limit for LAGs, go to the table
entry for the LAG number, which is listed after port g24 at the end of the table.
Set the Input Rate Limit Status or Output Rate Limit Status, then set the rate limit for individual
interfaces or LAGs, and then click Save Settings.
