Disabled indicates that there is no default

override ndicates that there s currently no 
RADIUS-imposed rate-limit on the 
associated ports. 
The  n the Limit field ind cates that the 
most recent rate-limit configured in the 
switch for this port is 50% of the port’s 
available bandwidth. The   in the Radius 
Override  d indicates that there is an 
active client session n which the RADIUS 
server used to authenticate the most recent 
client has imposed an nbound bandwidth 
t of 80%. Refer to the Note on page 6-24.

DSCP in the Apply Rule column and the 001010 in the   column ind cate 
a non-default CoS (802.1p) pr or ty conf gured n the switch for packets with a 
ffserv codepoint of 001010 inbound on port B4. The   in the   column 
shows the CoS pr or ty most recently configured for application to packets with 
that codepoint. The   in the Radius Override column indicates that there is 
currently at least one authenticated-client session on port B4, and that the most 
recent RADIUS- mposed CoS prior ty for the port is 5, which overr des the 
configured DSCP setting. Refer to the  , be ow.

Note  Where multiple clients are currently authenticated on a given port where 
inbound CoS and Rate-Limiting values have been imposed by a RADIUS 
server, the port operates with the inbound CoS priority and rate-limit assigned 
by RADIUS for the most recently authenticated client. Any earlier CoS or rate-
limit values on the same port for authenticated client sessions that are still 
active are overwritten by the most recent RADIUS-imposed values. For exam
