CREATE EGRESSLIMITER RATE BURSTSIZE
Syntax
CREATE EGRESSLIMITER=limitername RATE=bits-per-second BURSTSIZE={
4KB | 8KB | 16KB | 32KB | 64KB | 128KB | 256KB | 512KB | 1MB | 2MB
| 4MB | 8MB | 16MB | 32MB | 64MB }
Description Creates a new EGRESSLIMITER. EGRESSLIMITERs are used to limit the RATE and
BURSTSIZE of traffic transmitted over a particular port or interface. The RATE must be
in 1kb increments and can use K or M, such as “128K” or “3M”.
Options The following table gives the range of values for each option that can be specified with
this command and a default value (if applicable).
Example
CREATE EGRESSLIMITER=sub_gold RATE=1M BURSTSIZE=128KB
Option Description Default Value
EGRESSLIM-
ITER
The name of the EGRESSLIMITER that is being added to
the INTERFACE(s).
RATE Specifies the rate to which transmitted traffic must be
limited (in bits per second). The rate may exceed this
value for up to the specified BURSTSIZE for a brief time.
The value must be a non-zero multiple of 8K bits-per-
second. The value may have a suffix of "K" (meaning
times 1,000) or "M” (meaning times 1,000,000).
BURSTSIZE Specifies the maximum size burst of traffic that is
allowed to exceed the specified RATE. The value is
entered from among an enumerated list of allowable val-
ues.
