Rate-limit command 3560 does it exist?

[rasoftware]

I have just come across a command in my router IOS which might be useful too me. I was wondering if the following command is available on a 3560 Switch. I don't see it on my 3550 but the IOS is quite old. I don't have a 3560 avaiable currently to check.

Config t > int vlan x > rate-limit input/output

does this exist on the 3560? I am also interest if it does in the Bits per second range and if available input/output.

Thanks for any help

Hello,

what kind of feature are you looking for?

CAR?

For command list check the following link:

For QOS configs:

If you need to rate limit traffic on an interface check:

Hope this help a bit,

rate-limit is not supported on the 3550 switch or any catalyst switch, so it will not be available in 3560 as well. Instead you can use the policing feature, it similar in a way that you can police the amount of traffic a host connected to a particular interface or vlan to a specified amount. The following is a link on QoS and it has a section on policing:

Hi there,

You could use something like this

mls qos

mls qos aggregate-policer 1MB 1000000 8000 exceed-action drop

!

access-list 100 permit ip any any

!

mac access-list extended NON_IP

permit any any

!

class-map match-all NON_IP

match access-group name NON_IP

!

class-map match-all IP

match access-group 100

!

policy-map POLICE_1MB

class IP

police aggregate 1MB

class NON_IP

police aggregate 1MB

Please rate if it was usefull

Regards

Victor.-
