QoS: Ingress Rate Limiting Ingress rate limiting is a licensed feature that requires the Adaptive Networking license. Ingress rate limiting restricts the speed of traffic from a particular device to the switch port. Use ingress rate limiting for the following situations: • To reduce existing congestion in the network or proactively avoid congestion. • To enable you to offer flexible bandwidth limit services based on requirements. • To enable more important devices to use the network bandwidth during specific services, such as network backup. To limit the traffic, set the maximum speed at which the traffic can flow through a particular F_Port or FL_Port. For example, if you set the rate limit at 4 Gb/s, traffic from a particular device is limited to a maximum of 4 Gb/s. Ingress rate limiting enforcement is needed only if the port can run at a speed higher than the rate limit. For example, if the rate limit is 4 Gb/s and the port is only a 2 Gb/s port, ingress rate limiting is not enforced. The ingress rate limiting configuration is persistent across reboots.

QoS: Ingress Rate Limiting
Ingress rate limiting is a licensed feature that requires the Adaptive Networking license. Ingress rate
limiting restricts the speed of traffic from a particular device to the switch port. Use ingress rate limiting for
the following situations:
To reduce existing congestion in the network or proactively avoid congestion.
To enable you to offer flexible bandwidth limit services based on requirements.
To enable more important devices to use the network bandwidth during specific services, such as
network backup.
To limit the traffic, set the maximum speed at which the traffic can flow through a particular F_Port or
FL_Port. For example, if you set the rate limit at 4 Gb/s, traffic from a particular device is limited to a
maximum of 4 Gb/s.
Ingress rate limiting enforcement is needed only if the port can run at a speed higher than the rate limit. For
example, if the rate limit is 4 Gb/s and the port is only a 2 Gb/s port, ingress rate limiting is not enforced.
The ingress rate limiting configuration is persistent across reboots.
