Port Traffic Controls
Rate-Limiting
You can configure a rate limit from either the global configuration level or
from the port context level. For example, either of the following commands
configures an inbound rate limit of 60% on ports A3 - A5:
ProCurve (config)# int a3-a5 rate-limit all in percent 60
ProCurve (eth-A3-A5)# rate-limit all in percent 60
Displaying the Current Rate-Limit Configuration
The show rate-limit all command displays the per-port rate-limit configuration
in the running-config file.
Syntax: show rate-limit all [ port-list ]
Without [ port-list ], this command lists the rate-limit
configuration for all ports on the switch. With [ port-list ], this
command lists the rate-limit configuration for the specified
port(s). This command operates the same way in any CLI
context.
For example, if you wanted to view the rate-limiting configuration on the first
six ports in the module in slot “A”:
ProCurve Switch 8212zl(eth-A5)# show rate-limit all a1-a6
All-Traffic Rate Limit Maximum %
Port | Inbound Limit Mode Radius Override | Outbound Limit Mode
----- + ------------- --------- --------------- + -------------- ---------
A1 | Disabled Disabled No-override | 200000 bps
A2 | Disabled Disabled No-override | 200000 bps
A3 | Disabled Disabled No-override | 200000 bps
A4 | Disabled Disabled No-override | 200000 bps
A5 | 20 % No-override | Disabled Disabled
A6 | Disabled Disabled No-override | Disabled Disabled
Ports A1-A4 are configured with an
outbound rate limit of 200,000 bps (200 Kbps);
Port A5 is configured with an inbound rate
limit of 20%. (Port A6 is not configured for
rate-limiting.)
