CLI – Use the interface command to select the monitor port, then use the
port monitor command to specify the source 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.
