Configuring Port Mirroring - CLI

port. Note that default mirroring under the CLI is for both received and transmitted packets.
Configuring Rate Limits
This function allows the network manager to control the maximum rate for traffic transmitted or received on an
interface. Rate limiting is configured on interfaces at the edge of a network to limit traffic coming out of the
switch. Traffic that falls within the rate limit is transmitted, while packets that exceed the acceptable amount of
traffic are dropped.
Rate limiting can be applied to individual ports or trunks. When an interface is configured with this feature, the
traffic rate will be monitored by the hardware to verify conformity. Non-conforming traffic is dropped,
conforming traffic is forwarded without any changes.
