Displaying accounting information for rate limit usage
To display accounting information for rate limit usage, enter the following command.

Brocade# show rate-limit counters

Syntax: show rate-limit counters [interface slot/port]

The interface slot/port option allows you to get accounting information for a specified interface
only.

Output such as the following will display.

This display shows the following information.

Monitoring rate limit usage by SNMP
Accounting information for rate limit usage can also be monitored by SNMP. The agAclAccntTable
supports the following objects, which map to the rate limit usage counters.

agAclAccntRaclDropCnt: drop counters

agAclAccntRaclFwdCnt: fwd counters

agAclAccntRaclRemarkCnt: re-mark counters

agAclAccntRaclTotalCnt: total counters

For detailed information, please refer to the “Filtering Traffic” chapter of the Unified IP MIB
Reference.

Among other applications, this accounting feature allows per-port VLAN statistics in the inbound or
outbound direction to be extracted by means of SNMP. This can be achieved by adding ACL filters
for the monitored VLAN on the appropriate port. This accounting feature works for all modules of
the Brocade NetIron XMR and Brocade MLX series platforms. For modules that do not support
extended VLAN statistics, this feature provides a means of extracting per-port VLAN statistics.

defined rate limit policy since the device was started up or the counter has
been reset.

Re-mark

The number of packets whose priority have been remarked as a result of
