Configuring Bandwidth Control
If the performance of your network is affected by heavy traffic, you can use
bandwidth control to set the rate of various types of packets that a port
receives. You can control ingress packet types, including broadcast,
multicast, and Dlf packets or a combination of all three types, and limit
their rates. For egress packets, you can only configure the rate. (Dlf
packets are unicast packets that are broadcast because of a destination
address lookup failure.)
To configure bandwidth control, perform the following procedure:
1. From the main menu, select Bridge > Bandwidth Control.
The Bandwidth Control page is shown in Figure 10.
