traffic shape on a switch 3550

[rezaalikhani]

Hi,

How can I limit bandwidth to 64k for example on the interface 0/1 in a switch 3550?

Thanx

Hi Reza,

If you wish to limit both inbound and outbound traffic to 64k, you can do the following:

policy-map Policer

class class-default

police 64000

!

interface FastEthernet0/1

service-policy output Policer

service-policy input Policer

!

Hope that helps - pls rate posts that help.

thanks for your reply, but that did not work.

Hello,

you might want to try unicast stormcontrol:

interface FastEthernet0/1

storm-control unicast level 0.06

This would limit the unicast traffic to 60K (unfortunately you cannot set this value to anything more specific, since it has only three digits)...

Thanx

you mean we are unable to limit bandwidth on an interface in a 3550? right?

your suggession about using "storm-control", what does happen when I want to limit a Gig Ethernet to 64 K?

Hi Reza,

I did not include the burst parameter in that config. If you apply the following, it should work - I've justr tried it on a 3550 myself...

policy-map Policer

class class-default

police 64000 8000 exceed-action drop

!

interface FastEthernet0/1

service-policy output Policer

service-policy input Policer

!

Hope that helps - pls rate posts that help.

Hi Rezam

Out of curiosity, could you advise if that worked.
