Catalyst rate limit

[olddirtyfighter]

Hi,

please, could you recommend me the best way of limiting bandwidth on a port for catalyst 3560 and 6500.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Apply a Qos policy that polices traffic to the rate you want e.g.

policy-map Limiter

class class-default

police 128000

!

interface fastethernet1/0

service-policy output Limiter

You can also limit the traffic inbound by applying the above policer in an inbound direction as well...

Hope that helps - pls rate the post if it does

Thank you for answering.

I have tried config you suggested on both 3560 and 6500, but unfortunately it still doesn't work.

The main problem is that I don't get any matches with policy map so policing doesn't take place.

Also it is not possible to applay policy map in output direction.

If you have any other suggestion, please don't hesitate.

Thnx

Hello,

what can help you with your task in the 3560 is called "SRR Shaping and Sharing" and described at

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps5528/products_configuration_guide_chapter09186a00801e85dd.html#1200681

the command to use would be "srr-queue bandwidth shape ".

With the Catalyst 6500 the answer gets really more tricky, because of many different modules and CatOS and IOS Sups MSFC, etc.

Could you be more specific on what you have in place?

Hope this helps! Please rate all posts.
