If I have either a 2950 or 3560 is there a way to rate limit in interface without using QoS?
The senario: Let's say I'm an ISP and I have a customer who pays for a 20 Mbps link. I have their equipment plugged into a 3560. Is there a command in the 3560 such as "rate-limit 20000" to throttle them? I ask because another brand switch that we currently use has a command for this called "port-limit".

If you have a layer 3 interface you can issue the rate-limit command. You could also apply it on the vlan interface.For the record I've never used them on these boxes so I would take this with a grain of salt. The commands are there though and they appear functional.
interface FastEthernet0/24
no switchport
ip address 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0
rate-limit input 16000 1500 2000 conform-action transmit exceed-action drop
interface Vlan1
ip address 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.0
rate-limit input 16000 1500 2000 conform-action transmit exceed-action drop
rate-limit output 16000 1500 2000 conform-action transmit exceed-action drop
ip igmp join-group 239.0.0.1
end
# sh int vlan 1 rate-limit
Vlan1
Input
matches: all traffic
params: 16000 bps, 1500 limit, 2000 extended limit
conformed 0 packets, 0 bytes; action: transmit
exceeded 0 packets, 0 bytes; action: drop
last packet: 2646218714ms ago, current burst: 0 bytes
last cleared 00:06:16 ago, conformed 0 bps, exceeded 0 bps
Output
matches: all traffic
params: 16000 bps, 1500 limit, 2000 extended limit
conformed 0 packets, 0 bytes; action: transmit
exceeded 0 packets, 0 bytes; action: drop
last packet: 2646219302ms ago, current burst: 0 bytes
last cleared 00:05:47 ago, conformed 0 bps, exceeded 0 bps
Was able to do this on one of our 3560s in our lab.

I was able to find another post similar to this one that stated this option is viable.
