6.4 Meter command group
Introduction The meter command group is used to configure rate limiting. This allows aggregated
data to be policed to pre-configured bandwidths. This rate limiting can be configured
for a specific interface, ip address or service. A meter can be selected by a label or
can be interface specific. In case the meter is configured for a specific interface no
label is needed. Data in excess of the configured parameters will be discarded or
optinally re-marked to a lower priority.
Adding a meter Execute the following CLI command to add a meter:
This command will add a meter with the name “my_meter”.
Subsequently we need to configure the meter parameters. The section below shows
and explains the different parameters needed to configure a meter.
