Best Way To Regulate Data Rate For A Single Port

[alexb]

Hi All,

I have a 3750 vlan'ed but need to reduce the speed of a single port below 10mb...what is the best way to regulate the throughput of a single port when a specific rate is needed (i.e. when the max desired throughput is not 10mb or 100mb)?

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

you can use the interface command:

storm-control unicast level 10.00

or

storm-control unicast bps 10000000

The first command will limit bandwidth to 10% of what is available, the second will limit bandwidth to 10Mbps, effectively achieving the same thing.

Check this link to the relevant configuration reference:
