Rate-Limit on Cisco Router Configuation ???

[annpb]

I do not understand the meaning of term Rate-Limit in Cisco Router configurations ! What is it and how and in which situations can I use it ? Any document related to this matter ?

It is part of CAR (committed Access rate) configuration.

We recommend using MQC now,

My access to your URLs was denied because they need CCO, but I have not !

Does such tem be the same meaning and usage in Cat2900XL and Cat4006-L3 configs ?

Regards !

Try these

http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/105/cbpcar.html

http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/63/car_rate_limit_icmp.html

There is no rate-limit feature on cat2900XL.

Rate-limit on 2948g-l3/WS-x4232-l3/4908g-l3 is sub-set of CAR.

For more information on rate-limit on the L3 switches above, check out this URL

Hope this helps
