rate-limit cisco router

[dgj]

Is it possible to put more than one rate-limit on an interface so that I can use a Timeband to increase the bandwidth during the evening?

Bandwidth restricted to 3.5Mbps as I have voip running on the rest of the 10Mbps link.

I'd like to increase out of office hours so that server backups can utilise more than the 4Mbps given.

rate-limit input 3496000 8000 8000 conform-action set-prec-transmit 3 exceed-action drop

rate-limit output 3496000 8000 8000 conform-action set-prec-transmit 3 exceed-action drop

Thanks

Hello,

yes that is possible. In your case I would create time-based access control lists and apply them to the rate-limit commands:

rate-limit input access-group 101 3496000 8000 8000 conform-action set-prec-transmit 3 exceed-action drop

!

rate-limit output access-group 101 3496000 8000 8000 conform-action set-prec-transmit 3 exceed-action drop

!

time-range OFFICEHOURS

periodic weekdays 08:00 to 17:00

!

access-list 101 permit ip any any time-range OFFICEHOURS

HTH,

Georg
