5.3 Rate Limiter
To ensure reliable data exchange during heavy traffic, the device can limit the
traffic.
Entering a limit rate for each port specifies the amount of traffic the device is
permitted to transmit and receive.
If the data load transmitted at this port exceeds the maximum load entered,
the device will discard the excess data at this port.
A global setting enables/disables the rate limiter function at all ports.
Note: Ports that participate in a link aggregation (see page 128) are not sub-
ject to rate limitations, regardless of the entries in the "Rate Limiter".
