Rate Limiting And Shaping

Context

Interface-based rate limiting limits the rate of all packets passing through the interface to ensure that the bandwidth is within the allowed range. Packets received on an interface enter different queues based on priority mapping. The switch provides differentiated services by setting different traffic shaping parameters for queues with different priorities.

Procedure

Choose Configuration > Security Services > QoS Configuration and click the Rate Limiting And Shaping tab, as shown in Figure 1.
