Hi all, when rate limiting on my network ports, which ports should I do it on? uplinks or access ports? also I have a switch where it asks for packets per second limit value, what should I set this to ?

Hello,

you could use broadcast storm control instead of rate-limiting

under the interface config use:

storm-control broadcast level

a link to broadcast storm-control

hope to help
