• Interface Shaping Rate - Sets the cap on how much traffic can leave a port. The specified value represents the maximum negotiated bandwidth in kilobit per second (Kbps). The range is 0 - Infinity or 64 to 4294967295 kbps. • Restore to Defaults - Restores the default interface shaping rate to the selected interfaces when checked. Defining Interface Configuration 1. Open the Interface Configuration page. 2. Select the unit and port or LAG to be affected, or select Global to apply the settings to all interfaces. 3. Enter an Interface Shaping Rate to apply to these ports. 4. Click Apply Changes. The new Interface Shaping Rate is applied to the selected interface(s) and the device is updated. Restoring Default Shaping Rate 1. Open the Interface Configuration page. 2. Click the Restore to Defaults check box. 3. Click Apply Changes. All ports are restored to the default shaping rate, and the device is updated. Defining Interface Configuration Using CLI Commands For information about the CLI commands that perform this function, see the following chapter in the CLI Reference Guide: • QoS Commands The following table summarizes the equivalent CLI commands for this feature. Table 11-9. Interface Configuration Commands CLI Command traffic-shape Description Specifies the maximum transmission bandwidth limit for the interface as a whole. Interface Queue Configuration Use the Interface Queue Configuration page to define what a particular queue does by configuring switch egress queues. User-configurable parameters control the amount of bandwidth used by the queue, the queue depth during times of congestion, and the scheduling of packet transmission from the set of all queues on a port. Each port has its own CoS queue-related configuration. The configuration process is simplified by allowing each CoS queue parameter to be configured globally or per-port. A global configuration change is automatically applied to all ports in the system. 706 Configuring Quality of Service
