Leigh,

Your second example only sets the bandwidth on the interface for
calculation by routing protocols. It has no effect on how much traffic
passes. Also it is set in kbps, so if running eigrp it will calculate
cost based on a 5000000000bps (5GBps) link.

Try RATE-LIMIT command as your alternative to MQC

All,

When asked to configure an interface so that only 5meg is allocated for
all traffic would it be better to do this:-

class-map ALLtraffic
 match any
policy-map anything5MEG
 class ALLtraffic
  police 5000000
interface f0/0
 service-policy input anything5MEG
 service-policy output anything5MEG

Or should I opt for the more simple:-

interface f0/0
 bandwidth 5000000

Both would have the desired squeezing effect.

Comments ?
