How to Limit Bandwidth on Huawei and Cisco Switches

Bandwidth Limiting on Huawei and Cisco Switches

Switch Commands:
Huawei Switch:
sys   // Enter system view
[LinkIDC-LF-J5]di cu // Display current configuration
[LinkIDC-LF-J5]int e1/0/2  // Enter interface view
[LinkIDC-LF-J5-Ethernet1/0/2]int e1/0/3  // Switch to interface 3
[LinkIDC-LF-J5-Ethernet1/0/3]line i 5120 // Inbound bandwidth limit 5120 Kbps
[LinkIDC-LF-J5-Ethernet1/0/3]line o 5120 // Outbound bandwidth limit 5120 Kbps
[LinkIDC-LF-J5-Ethernet1/0/3]q  // Quit
[LinkIDC-LF-J5]q // Quitsa // Save configuration. If not saved, settings will revert after a reboot.

——————————————————————————————————-
Cisco Switch:
enable // Enter privileged EXEC mode
s1#show run // Display running configuration
s1#conf t  // Enter global configuration mode
[s1-config]? // Use ? for help on available commands

Switch#conf t  // Enter global configuration mode
Switch(config)#interface fastEthernet 0/22  // Enter interface configuration mode
Switch(config-if)#storm-control unicast level 2  // Limit unicast storm to 2%; on a 100 Mb interface, this equals 2 Mb
Switch(config-if)#exit  // Exit interface configuration mode
Switch(config)#exit  // Exit global configuration mode
Switch#write // Save configuration
