Rate limiting on 6509

[pperreira]

We are currently using a Cisco 6506 to provide ISP services. The switch houses the following modules:

1 2 Cat 6k sup 1 Enhanced QoS (Active) WS-X6K-SUP1A-2GE SAD04320MU1
3 48 48 port 10/100 mb RJ45
WS-X6348-RJ-45 SAL05073Y6G
4 8 8 port 1000mb ethernet WS-X6408-GBIC SAD04130FA

with the following sub-modules:
1 Policy Feature Card WS-F6K-PFC SAD044100T8 1.1 Ok
1 MSFC Cat6k daughterboard WS-F6K-MSFC SAD04280HWJ 1.4 Ok

We are wondering if we can rate limit bandwidth on the fast ethernet ports... for example if we have someone that wants to have 45 mb or even 2 mb of bandwidth, can this be done? if so, How? if not what product should we consider?

Hi

I hope the following link from Cisco helps. It describes how to setup QoS policing (which is a very cimilar concept to rate limiting) on the 6500 platform.

Not sure if this will give you some information but take a look at it...

Sorry typo

Thank you all for the help, I am working on testing these suggestions... I want to know if it is possible to make it burstable? meaning i want a port to have 2 mb burstable to 10 mb... is that possible?

 

[KiscoKid]

If you implement the policing I mentioned, you can specify a burst value in there.

thank you very much Kiscokid... I was looking at teh burst values... i just have to make sure that the conversion is correct when the value is entered...
