Traffic Shaping
This section describes the Traffic Shaping feature.
Traffic shaping controls the amount and volume of traffic transmitted through a network. This has
the effect of smoothing temporary traffic bursts over time.
CLI Example
Use the traffic-shape command to enable traffic shaping by specifying the maximum transmission
bandwidth limit for all interfaces (Global Config) or for a single interface (Interface Config).
The <bw> value is a percentage that ranges from 0 to 100 in increments of 5. The default
bandwidth value is 0, meaning no upper limit is enforced, which allows the interface to transmit up
to its maximum line rate.
The bw value is independent of any per-queue maximum bandwidth value(s) in effect for the
interface and should be considered as a second-level transmission rate control mechanism that
regulates the output of the entire interface regardless of which queues originate the outbound
traffic.
(Netgear Switch) (Config)#classofservice trust ?
dot1p Sets the Class of Service Trust Mode of an Interface
to 802.1p.
ip-dscp Sets the Class of Service Trust Mode of an Interface
to IP DSCP.
(Netgear Switch) (Config)#classofservice trust dot1p ?
<cr> Press Enter to execute the command.
(Netgear Switch) (Config)#classofservice trust dot1p
Note: The Traffic Class value range is <0-6> instead of <0-7> because queue 7 is
reserved in a stacking build for stack control, and is therefore not configurable by
the user.
