Configuring Rate Limits
This function allows the network manager to control the maximum rate for traffic
transmitted or received on a port. Rate limiting is configured on ports at the edge
f a network to limit traffic coming into or out of the netwo o rk. Traffic that falls within

s to Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet
the rate limit is transmitted, while packets that exceed the acceptable amount
traffic are dropped.
Rate limiting can be applied to individual ports or trunks. When an interface
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.
Rate Limit Granularity
Rate limit granularity is an additional feature enabling the network manager
greater control over traffic on the network. The “rate limit granularity” is multiplied
by the “rate limit level” (page 3-114) to set the actual rate limit for an interface.
Granularity is a global setting that applie
