Operating Notes for Rate-Limiting
■ Rate-limiting operates on a per-port basis, regardless of traffic
priority. Rate-limiting is available on all types of ports (other than trunked
ports) on the switches covered in this guide, and at all port speeds
configurable for these devices.
■ Rate-limiting is not allowed on trunked ports: Rate-limiting is not
supported on ports configured in a trunk group (including mesh ports).
Configuring a port for rate-limiting and then adding it to a trunk suspends
