❼ Rate: Defines the threshold data rate. The web interface provides a prede-
fined set of rates (drop-down list). The CLI allows for more fine-grain rate
settings:
– in steps of 64 kbit/s in range 64-1000 kbit/s
– in steps of 1 Mbit/s in range 1-100 Mbit/s
– in steps of 10 Mbit/s in range 100-1000 Mbit/s (on Gigabit Ethernet
ports.)
Rate limiting calculations consider the layer-2 bits, i.e., from Ethernet des-
tination MAC address to CRC (interframe gap and preamble bits are not
counted).
❼ Traffic Type: Defines the kind of traffic subject to inbound rate limiting. By
default, a configured rate limit will apply to all traffic, however, it is possible
to restrain the rate limit to specific (layer-2) traffic types: broadcast, multi-
cast and/or unknown
unicast. As of WeOS v4.17.0 selection of traffic types
can only be done via the CLI.
1
Unknown unicast traffic is traffic with a unicast destination MAC address not present in the
switch forwarding database (see
). Unknown unicast traffic is flooded onto all ports
within the (V)LAN.
