  • 1.  2530-24G switch rate-limit not working

    Posted 11 days ago

    Posted this thread in wrong forum:

    I have a Aruba 2530-24G switch where i try to enable rate-limit, and i cant get it to work. 

    I.e im running the command (under the interface):

    int 20 rate-limit all in kbps 210000

    Which applies and shows. But i also want to do this on OUTGOING traffic. 

    In the manual it says:

    int <port-list> rate-limit all <in|out> percent <0-100>|kbps <0-100000000>>

    However if i enter:

    int 20 rate-limit all out kbps 210000

    i get the error:

    Invalid input: out

    Anyone have any ideas on why not outgoing rate-limit is working?

    Port Traffic Control for all traffic is not supported on the 2530 switch.

    You probably found the command for a higher end switch, like 2930F.

    Don't know why for inbound the command is accepted.

    Hi.


    Did some tests yesterday.  2530 CLI (latest 16.11.0021) and also older offer all option for interface rate-limit:

    HP-2530-24G-PoEP(eth-5)# rate-limit 
     all                   Set a rate limit for all traffic.
     bcast                 Set a rate limit for broadcast traffic.
     icmp                  Set a rate limit for ICMP traffic.
     mcast                 Set a rate limit for multicast traffic.
     unknown-unicast       Set a rate limit for unicast flood traffic.

    I presume that all is shorthand for bcast, mcast, icmp and unknown-unicast traffic.

    Best, Gorazd

    Thanks for this. Yes that works for me also. This command works fine:

    int 20 rate-limit all in kbps 210000

    but this is only for inbound traffic.

    If i enter 

    int 20 rate-limit all OUT kbps 210000

    i get the error:

    invalid input: out

    Hi Lars.

    Yes, this is expected. There is no OUT option on 2530. Only IN option is available.

    HP-2530-24G-PoEP(eth-5)# rate-limit
     all                   Set a rate limit for all traffic.
     bcast                 Set a rate limit for broadcast traffic.
     icmp                  Set a rate limit for ICMP traffic.
     mcast                 Set a rate limit for multicast traffic.
     unknown-unicast       Set a rate limit for unicast flood traffic.
    HP-2530-24G-PoEP(eth-5)# rate-limit all
     in                    Set a rate limit for all incoming traffic.
    HP-2530-24G-PoEP(eth-5)# rate-limit all in
     kbps                  Set the rate limit in kilobits per second.
     percent               Set the rate limit as a percentage of the port link speed.

    Best, Gorazd
