BANDWIDTH LIMIT DOES NOT WORK?!

[giuliano]

HI.

I'm using CAR bandwidth limit to limit ftp outbound connection to external ftp site.

I have an access listi like this:

access-list 102 permit tcp any any range 20 21

and on serial interface connected to internet i have

rate limit output access-group rate-limit 102 8000 1500 2000 conform-action set-prec-continue 4 exceed-action drop.

Now if i connect to an ftp site my bandwidth is not limited to 8kb/s, but continue to download at high speed rate.

I0m missing somethings?

Thanks.

If i remove rate-limit

You have an out bound rate limit set on the serial interface. i believe this will only work if you're sending to an ftp site, not receiving an ftp download from the internet.

Hi

I am also experiencing the same problem even I apply the rate-limit for inbound FTP traffic ,

access-list 102 permit tcp any any eq ftp

and on serial interface connected to internet i have

rate limit input access-group rate-limit 102 8000 8000 8000 conform-action transmit exceed-action drop

I was wondering after applying the rate limit, I tried to download a 2MB file from one FTP site, MY cute-ftp is showing 32Kbps download speed rate..

Please correct me If the config is wrong..

thanks in Advance

Do you have CEF enable for the interface(s)?

Does the router platform you're using support CAR?

The rate limit command doesn't look right. I think it should be

rate limit output access-group 102 8000 1500 2000 conform-action set-prec-continue 4 exceed-action drop

Drop the second rate-limit command. It means that access list 102 is a rate-limit access list as defined by the global access-list rate-limit command.
