CONFIGURING RATE
LIMITING
Use the Rate Limit Configuration page to control the maximum rate for
traffic transmitted or received on an interface. Rate limiting can be
configured on interfaces at the edge of a network to form part of the
customer service package by limiting traffic into or out of the switch.
Packets that exceed the acceptable amount of traffic are dropped, while
conforming traffic is forwarded without any changes.
