RE: Rate-limit or Police or Strom-Control??

Storm control will filter for Unicast as well as Multicast and Broadcast. The problem is it matches inbound traffic (ie, match inbound unicast to 2Mbps) to the port but will block all traffic once the thresholds are reached (ie, filter unicast traffic inbound AND outbound). This is not a desired action for policing of bandwidth on a port...

If there is another port that could handle the "download" traffic that would go out the target port of f0/10 then you could apply that inbound on that port and the "upload" traffic could be policed on the f0/10 port.

No you cann't use storm control command to control the bandwidth on port. Storm control is used to block broadcast messages

Dear all,
I hope you are doing well.
I have cisco 2950 switch and want to limit bandwidth on port no.10
which is f0/10
1)switch port does not support rate-limit command
2)I used police command but it can apply only input of interface,no
option available for output on interfaces.
what is best way to limit 2 mb bandwidth on interface f0/10?can I use
strom-control command to limit it?
Thanks in advance
