Manage Individual Port Settings
For each individual port, you can set the port priority, set rate limits for incoming and outgoing traffic, set
the port speed (by default, the speed is set automatically), enable flow control, and change the port name
label.
Set Rate Limits for a Port
You can limit the rate of incoming (ingress) traffic, outgoing (egress) traffic, or both on a port to prevent the
port (and the device that is attached to it) from taking up too much bandwidth on the switch. Rate limiting
simply means that the switch slows down all traffic on a port so that traffic does not exceed the limit that
you set for that port. If you set the rate limit on a port too low, you might, for example, see degraded video
stream quality, sluggish response times during online activity, and other problems.
You also can set port rate limits (the same feature) as part of the Quality of Service configuration on the
switch (see Manually Set the Quality of Service Mode and Port Rate Limits on page 24).
To set rate limits for incoming and outgoing traffic on a port:
1. Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the switch or to the
switch directly through an Ethernet cable.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the switch.
The login page displays.
