Function of 2 Nexus interface commands

[Aaron D]

Can anyone help me with these 2 interface commands and what exactly they do? The command references that I looked at are of no use....

medium p2p

  rate-limit cpu direction both pps 2000 action log

thanks

medium p2p is useful to force the interface on p2p mode. protocols such as ISIS and OSPF can make use of that feature when configured on LAN interfaces.

the rate-limit cpu direction command adds the ability to rate-limit packets destined to the supervisor and log a message. Please note, packets won't be dropped. If you want packets to be dropped, you need to use the hardware rate-limit command.
