Configuring Rate Limiting on the Management Interface

Context

You can configure a rate limit on the management interface to limit the rate of traffic entering the device through the management interface, ensuring normal system operations.

Procedure

The system view is displayed.
Run interface meth 0/0/1
The MEth interface view is displayed.

A rate limit is set for the management interface.

A small rate limit may affect the FTP, Telnet, SFTP, STelnet, and SSH functions.
