SET EGRESSLIMITER
Syntax
SET EGRESSLIMITER=limitername [ RATE=bits-per-second ] [ BURST-
SIZE={ 4KB | 8KB | 16KB | 32KB | 64KB | 128KB | 256KB | 512KB | 1MB
| 2MB | 4MB | 8MB | 16MB | 32MB | 64MB } ]
Description Modifies an existing EGRESSLIMITER. This changes the limit on all ports/interfaces with
which the EGRESSLIMITER is associated. See CREATE EGRESSLIMITER for a description
of the use of EGRESSLIMITERs.
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
SET EGRESSLIMITER=sub_gold RATE=1M BURSTSIZE=256KB
Option Description Default Value
EGRESSLIM-
ITER
The name of the EGRESSLIMITER that has already been
created.
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.
