Configuring Rate Limits
Command or Action
Step 7
hardware rate-limiter layer-3 multicast local-groups
packets [module module [port start end]]
Example:
switch(config)# hardware rate-limiter layer-3
multicast local-groups 300
Step 8
hardware rate-limiter span-egress rate [module module]
Example:
switch(config)# hardware rate-limiter span-egress
123
Step 9
(Optional) show hardware rate-limiter [ access-list-log
| bfd |exception | fex | layer-3 glean | layer-3 multicast

Example:
switch# show hardware rate-limiter
Step 10
(Optional) copy running-config startup-config
Example:
switch# copy running-config startup-config
Monitoring Rate Limits
You can monitor rate limits.

Clearing the Rate Limit Statistics
You can clear the rate limit statistics.
Purpose
Configures rate limits in packets per second for Layer 3
multicast data packets that are punted for initiating a
shortest-path tree (SPT) join. The range is from 0 to 10000.
Configures rate limits in kilobits per second for SPAN for
egress traffic. The range is from 0 to 100000000.
Note
Displays the rate limit configuration. The module range is
from 1 to 30.
Copies the running configuration to the startup
configuration.
Purpose
Displays the rate limit statistics.

Monitoring Rate Limits
You should not configure both sFlow and the
SPAN egress rate-limiter.
