Use the Traffic > Rate Limit page to apply rate limiting to ingress or egress
ports. This function allows the network manager to control the maximum rate
for traffic received or transmitted on an interface. Rate limiting is configured
on interfaces at the edge of a network to limit traffic into or out of the network.
Packets that exceed the acceptable amount of traffic are dropped.
Rate limiting can be applied to individual ports. When an interface is configured with this feature, the traffic rate will be monitored by the hardware to verify conformity. Non-conforming traffic is dropped, conforming traffic is forwarded without any changes.
Displays the switch's ports or trunks.
Indicates the port type. (1000BASE-T, 1000BASE SFP, 10GBASE SFP+)
Enables or disables the rate limit. (Default: Disabled)
Sets the rate limit level. (Range: 64 - 1,000,000 kbits per second for Gigabit Ethernet ports; 64 - 10,000,000 kbits per second for 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports)
Indicates the resolution at which the rate can be configured.
