Configuring Port Traffic Rate Limiting

Purpose

To limit the rate of inbound traffic on the Enterasys Matrix Series device on a per port/priority
basis. The allowable range for the rate limiting is 125 kilobytes per second minimum up to the
maximum transmission rate allowable on the interface type.
Rate limit is configured for a given port and list of priorities. The list of priorities can include one,
some, or all of the eight 802.1p priority levels. Once configured, the rate of all traffic entering or
leaving the port with the priorities configured to that port is not allowed to exceed the
programmed limit. If the rate exceeds the programmed limit, frames are dropped until the rate
falls below the limit.
