Configuring Rate Shaping

Follow these steps to configure outbound rate shaping on an Ethernet or a link aggregation group (LAG) port.
  1. Enter global configuration mode. 
    device# configure terminal
  2. Enter interface configuration mode. 
    device(config)# interface ethernet 1/1/2
  3. Configure the maximum rate at which outbound traffic is sent out on a port. 
    device(config-if-e1000-1/1/2)# rate-limit output shaping 1300
Outbound Rate Shaping on Port 1/1/2 Config: 1300 Kbps, Actual: 1304 Kbps
  4. Configure the maximum rate at which outbound traffic is sent out on a port priority queue. 
    device(config-if-e1000-1/1/2)# rate-limit output shaping 500 priority 7
Outbound Rate Shaping on Port 1/1/2 for Priority 7
         Config: 500 Kbps, Actual: 500 Kbps
device(config-if-e1000-1/1/2)# end
  5. Verify the configuration. 
    device# show rate-limit output-shaping
Outbound Rate Shaping Limits in Kbps:
Port   PortMax Prio0 Prio1 Prio2 Prio3 Prio4 Prio5 Prio6 Prio7
1/1/2     1304     -     -     -     -     -     -     -   500
1/1/3     1302     -     -     -     -     -     -     -     -
1/1/4      651     -     -     -     -     -     -     -     -

Outbound Rate Shaping Configuration Example

device# configure terminal
device(config)# interface ethernet 1/1/2
device(config-if-e1000-1/1/2)# rate-limit output shaping 500 priority 7
device(config-if-e1000-1/1/2)# exit
device(config)# show rate-limit output-shaping
