Port-based fixed rate limiting configuration notes

  • Rate limiting is available only on inbound ports.
  • Ingress port rate-limiting and egress port-shaping are supported on PE ports.
  • The rate limit on IPv6 hardware takes several seconds to take effect at higher configured rate limit values. For example, if the configured rate limit is 750 Mbps, line-rate limiting could take up to 43 seconds to take effect.
  • You can enable rate limiting on Static LAG only. You cannot enable rate limiting on other types of LAG.
  • You can configure rate limiting on individual ports of the LAG. You cannot configure rate limiting on the LAG itself.
  • The RUCKUS ICX 7650 applies rating limiting starting with the Layer 1 overhead. All other ICX devices begin counting the packet size from the Layer 2 header onwards.

  1. Port-based fixed rate limiting
    You can configure a fixed rate limiting policy on a port in the inbound direction only. This feature allows you to specify the maximum number of bytes in kilobits per second (kbps) a given port can receive. The port drops bytes that exceed the limit you specify.
