For port-level rate limiting, the following considerations apply:
The egress-rate command is in the config>port>ethernet context.
The egress-rate command configures the maximum rate (in kb/s).
For 7210 SAS-D devices, the max-burst command configures a maximum burst (in kilobits) associated with the egress-rate. This parameter is optional and if it is not defined, by default it is set to 32 kb for a 1G port. Users cannot configure max-burst without configuring egress-rate. The value should be between 32 and 16384 or default.
For 7210 SAS-Dxp devices, the max-burst command configures a maximum-burst (in kilobits) associated with the egress-rate. This parameter is optional and if it is not defined, by default it is set to 65 kb for a 1G port and 98 kb for a 10G port. Users cannot configure max-burst without configuring egress-rate. The value should be between 32 and 16384 or default.
By default the egress-rate command is not set on the port. The default egress-rate value for a port is the maximum (which is equal to the line rate).
The following sample configuration output shows the egress-rate configuration for a port.
*A:Dut-1>config>port# info
