Egress Rate(bps):

Configure the bandwidth for sending packets on the port. You can
select a rate from the dropdown list or select "Manual" to set
Egress rate, the system will automatically select integral multiple
of 64Kbps that closest to the rate you entered as the real Egress
rate.

LAG:

Displays the LAG number which the port belongs to.

Note:

1. If you enable ingress rate limit feature for the storm control-enabled port, storm control feature

will be disabled for this port.

2. When selecting "Manual" to set Ingress/Egress rate, the system will automatically select

integral multiple of 64Kbps that closest to the rate you entered as the real Ingress/Egress rate.
For example, if you enter 1000Kbps for egress rate, the system will automatically select
1024Kbps as the real Egress rate.

3. When egress rate limit feature is enabled for one or more ports, you are suggested to disable

the flow control on each port to ensure the switch works normally.

automatically discarded to avoid network broadcast storm.
