CLI – Use the interface command to select the monitor port, then use the port
monitor command to specify the source port. Note that default mirroring under
the CLI is for both received and transmitted packets.
6.7.6 Configuring Rate Limits
This function allows the network manager to control the maximum rate for traffic
transmitted or received on an interface. Rate limiting is configured on interfaces
at the edge of a network to limit traffic into or out of the ECN330-switch. Traffic
that falls within the rate limit is transmitted, while packets that exceed the
acceptable amount of traffic are dropped.
Rate limiting can be applied to individual ports or trunks. The input rate limit for
any port within a specific VLAN can also be configured. When an interface is
configured with this feature, the traffic rate will be monitored by the hardware to
verify conformity. Non-conforming traffic is dropped, conforming traffic is
forwarded without any changes.

Command Attributes
• Port – Port number. (Range: 1-28)
• Rate Limit Status – Enables or disables rate limiting on the selected
interface. (Default: Disabled)
• Input/Output Rate Limit – Sets the output rate limit for an interface.
(Default: Fast Ethernet: 100000 Kbps; Gigabit Ethernet: 1000000 Kbps;
Range: Fast Ethernet: 1-100000 Kbps; Gigabit Ethernet: 1-1000000
Kbps in multiples of 64 Kbps)
• Trunk – Shows if this port is a member of a trunk. (This item is only
displayed for the Input/Output Port Configuration menus.)
