meaning of 'frame-relay traffic-shaping cir in' command

[lahenche]

If you can only shape outgoing traffic, what's the meaning of 'in' option in a traffic-shaping command, as 'frame-relay traffic-shaping cir in <bps>'?

Thanks,

Hi,

Frame-relay Traffic shaping is always outbound because it's always get shaped before is going to the output WAN interface. Where did you config this command under. I don't see this is a valid command. Maybe this is an explaination of CIR is "in" bit per second.

Sorry,

the right command was 'frame-relay cir [in/out] ' applied in a frame-relay map-class. This command lets you specify incoming cir and outgoing cir, but I don't know what's the use for incoming cir, either in frame-relay traffic-shaping or when the router works as a frame-relay switch.

Thanks,

hi,

this is an enhancement of the fr-switching feature

of a cisco router.

with the "in" parameter you can police fr-traffic in

layer two when you use the router as a fr-switch.

BUT:

you must use the "connect" command for the fr-route.

ps:

i tried and it works really fine

hope this helps
