Perform the following step if you need to enable one or more protection schemes on the Ethernet port; otherwise, go to Step 7. See QoS protection schemes for Ethernet ports in this section for more information.

1. To enable traffic storm control on the port, configure the parameters in the Storm control panel.

2. To enable port rate limiting on the ports, configure the parameters in the Port Rate Limiter panel.

3. To enable dotq VLAN rate limiting on the port:

   Note: When you configure VLAN rate limits, ensure that the combined VLAN rate limits do not exceed the configured port rate limit or the port speed. The PortRateCIROverload alarm is raised when the VLAN rate limits exceed the available port rate.

   You can enable up to eight VLAN rate limits on an Ethernet port.

   1. Click on the VLAN Rate Limiter tab, choose an Ethernet port, and click Properties. The VLAN Rate Limiter (Edit) form opens.
