rate-limit

Function

The rate-limit command configures the rate limit for upstream and downstream packets of all STAs or each STA on a VAP.

The undo rate-limit command restores the default rate limit for upstream and downstream packets of all STAs or each STA on a VAP.

By default, the rate limit for upstream and downstream packets of all STAs on a VAP is 4294967295 kbit/s, and that of each STA is 4294967295 kbit/s.

Format

rate-limit { client | vap } { up | down } rate-value

undo rate-limit { client | vap } { up | down }

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Value
client	Specifies a STA on a VAP.	-
vap	Specifies all STAs on a VAP.	-
up	Specifies the rate limit for upstream packets on a VAP.	-
down	Specifies the rate limit for downstream packets on a VAP.	-
rate-value	Specifies the rate limit of packets.	The value is an integer that ranges from 64 to 4294967295, in kbit/s. The value 4294967295 indicates that the rate is not limited.

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

You can run the rate-limit command to limit the rate of upstream and downstream packets for all STAs or each STA on a VAP to protect network bandwidth resources.

Precautions

The limited rate does not take effect for STAs that go online before the rate-limit command is configured. To make this configuration take effect for a STA, enable the STA to go online again.

The rate limit configured for each STA on a VAP does not take effect for multicast packets.

Example

# Set the rate limit of upstream packets to 4294967295 kbit/s for all STAs on a VAP in the traffic profile p1.
