Hello, I have a cisco 2621 router. I cannot seem to figure out how to work rate limiting on this router. Does anybody know of a how-to guide to do it?

Thanks

Put the rate limit on the interface...for example, mine is for incoming ftp
rate-limit output access-group 110 256000 1500 2000 conform-action transmit exceed-action drop
This keeps the limit to 256K...
access-list 110 permit tcp any 10.69.69.2 eq ftp
It's called CAR...

Well basically, this is what I'm trying to do. I'm a beginning web hosting company. I do dedicated servers, Colocation, ect ect. Currently if I need someones IP rate-limited. I call into the datacenter, I tell them I need 207.x.x.x rate limited to 2MB. They do it for me. I find sometimes it takes up to 2 weeks to get this rate limiting done. In that time frame. I get hit with a pretty nice bill. Currently, I have a 100MB pipe. I asked them if my router would do it. They told me, "yes it will", "sweet how do you do it?", "Thats my secret." Oh alright.

So basically I'm looking for a more internal way to rate limit without them, being they take awhile to get it done.

Thanks

Sorry may have misunderstood you. I thought you said CAR was for rate-limiting ports. not IP's.

Thanks for the reply!

I just saw this.

CAR is supported on these platforms:

•Cisco 7000 series with RSP7000

•Cisco 7200 series

•Cisco 7500 series

Will CAR work on the 2621?

Your telling me, I work from my home mostly. My 19mo Son keeps me on my toes. I have a 100MB internet connection, One of my customers used 40mb of bandwidth last month, and hes only paying for 5mb I have no other way of limiting these people really. Need a good way of doing this stuff.

Thanks Burt for your help.

Well, rate limiting will only limit amount of bandwidth...which is what you want...right?
I feel for ya bro---19mo boy...every now and the one or the other cries at 2 or 3 in the morning..."I wanna sleep in your bed, mommy and daddy"
Is this any traffic, or a specific protocol?

If not, then do they have a static IP?

They have a Static IP address. I basically need to be able to rate limit them to 5MB download and upload.

So instead of downloading/uploading @ 100mb/sec they only download/upload @ 5mb/sec

Does this make sense?

Yes. Let's say that fa0/0 is the outgoing interface...

router>en
router#conf t
router(config)#access-list 101 permit ip host x.x.x.x any
router(config)#int fa0/0
router(config-if)#rate-limit input access-group 101 5000000 5000 5000 conform-action transmit exceed-action drop
router(config-if)#rate-limit output access-group 101 5000000 5000 5000 conform-action transmit exceed-action drop
router(config-if)#end
router#

That should do it. I don't have a lot of experience with rate-limiting, but it did work when I had an FTP server, and a lot of people accessing it. I limited them all to 56KBps...ha ha ha. I only have a 3MB line. Finally, the psu crapped out, and I haven't done anything with it since.

You can test it out with a laptop going to your house...hopefully it works for you. Good luck.

One more thing...without the access list, it will limit all traffic, and the statements would be
rate-limit input 5000000 5000 5000 conform-action transmit exceed-action drop
and no access-list.

my outgoing IP address is a 192.168. address.

interface FastEthernet0/0
ip address 192.168.16.6 255.255.255.252
no ip redirects
no ip unreachables
no ip proxy-arp
duplex auto
speed auto
!
interface FastEthernet0/1
ip address 207.14.32.225 255.255.255.224
no ip redirects
no ip unreachables
no ip proxy-arp
duplex auto
speed auto
!

I would use my FastEthernet0/1 then right?

Why does one need NAT?

my 207.14.32.225-207.14.32.254 are all my external IP's.

207.14.32.225 is actually my router on the inside.

the 192.168.16.6 is my outside (connected to the internet)

It's weird how they do the routing.

I tried what you listed above, Doesn't seem to be working.

Thanks Burt.
