Is this a Bandwidth throttle?

[jared.sully]

Hi All

can someone confirm if the below commands are used for throttling bandwidth please?

class-map match-all lan_traffic

  match access-group 101

!

!

policy-map 512K

  class lan_traffic

   shape average 512000

!

interface Ethernet0

ip address 192.168.200.254 255.255.255.252

service-policy output 512K

Provided that acl 101 exists, and correctly matches the traffic you want to shape, it would indeed have the desired effect.

The effect is to 'shape' the traffic, i.e. making it fit within the preset bandwidth with minimal packet loss. Bursts are smoothed out over a longer period of time.

Perhaps it works simpler using the built-in default class:

policy-map SPOUT-Shape100Mb

class class-default

shape average 95000000

For this config, no acl is required.
