Rate-Limiting for all traffic provides a method for limiting the amount of bandwidth a user or device may utilize inbound on a switch port. This effectively sets an inbound usage level on a given port, and is a tool for enforcing maximum service level commitments granted to. This chapter describes how to configure rate limits for supervisor-bound traffic on Cisco NX-OS devices. Rate limits can prevent redirected packets for exceptions from overwhelming the supervisor module on a Cisco NX-OS device. You can configure rate limits in packets per second for the following. Core port rate-limiting causing issues on 'tenanted' switching infrastructure We have a 5400zl (J8697a) chasis with 2 J8702a 24 port 10/100/1000 PoE modules installed acting as a core switch in a large 8 switch deployment. All edge switches are J9089a 2610s. Interface-based rate limiting in the inbound and outbound directions can be.
