Rate-limit (CAR) was the old way of doing policing. Check the configuration guide here for 4500:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst4500/12.2/15.02SG/configuration/guide/qos.html#wp1437716

You can do either shaping or policing, guaranteeing bandwidths to different classes and so on.

Thanks Daniel , but Can we configure Rate-Limit in 4500X ? or we have to configure classes & policy map for the same

I don't think this command is available any longer, at least I couldn't find it in the command reference. You need to start using the new tools for QoS.

Thanks Daniel, how shall I configure the below command with shape average command in 4500X ? I have created the configs below , can you please confirm if its correct ?

Old Way

rate-limit input 4096000 768000 1536000 conform-action transmit exceed-action drop

rate-limit output 4096000 768000 1536000 conform-action transmit exceed-action drop

New WAY

4500X# configure terminal

4500X(config)# policy-map policy1

4500X(config-pmap)# class 4MB

4500X(config-pmap-c)# shape average 4096000

4500X(config-pmap-c)# exit

4500X(config-pmap)# exit

4500X(config)# interface vlan 30

4500X(config-if)# service-policy output policy1

4500X(config-if)# service-policy input policy1
