packet is assigned rate limiting restrictions for forwarding. The options
are as follows:
■ Permit — Forwards packets which meet the ACL criteria.
■ Deny — Drops packets which meet the ACL criteria.
■ Shutdown — Drops packet that meets the ACL criteria, and
disables the port to which the packet was addressed. Ports are
reactivated from the
