Port based rate limiting - Help!

Im going to use a 440 as a "WAN" switch for 2 customers. Im going to have a 20Mbps wan connection terminate on the switch.

Client one gets 18.5Mbps and Client 2 gets 1.5Mbps.

I found this post on the forum;

https://community.extremenetworks.com/extreme/topics/how_do_i_configure_ingress_and_egress_rate_limi...

This is close to what I want I think, but, wont this give them 20Mbps down and 20Mbps up?

I don't want a client to have the potential to consume 40Mbps, cap them at 18.5Mbps in my case.

Thanks,

Jeremy

So, I would set QP1 to a max transmit of lets say 1.5Mbps and QP2 to 18.5Mbps?

I did the ingress part correctly I think,

create meter Meter-1
configure meter Meter-1 committed-rate 1500 Kbps out-actions drop
create meter Meter-2
configure meter Meter-2 committed-rate 18500 Kbps out-actions drop
configure access-list 1-Ingress ports 1 ingress
configure access-list 2-Ingress ports 2 ingress

Hey Jeremy

This will work for you with some changes. Egress (from switch to customer) is done using the queues. You can assign one customer to QP1 and the other to QP2 then set the max transmit.

For ingress coming into the switch from the customer you need to use a meter. You can create a meter for bandwidth that will stop what the customer can send upstream.

Does this make sense? Do you need us to send the right commands?
