For each individual port, you can set rate limits for incoming and outgoing traffic, set
the port speed (by default, the speed is set automatically), enable flow control, change
the port name label, and change the LED color scheme.
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 Use Port-Based Quality of Service and Set Port Priorities
on page 38).
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.
3. Enter the switch password.
The default password is password. The password is case-sensitive.
