 | View Full Version : Extreme switches question(s) dektong 08-03-2002, 12:15 PM Hi guys, Will I be able to cap bandwith with Extreme Summit48? Say, I want to cap port 1 at 512Kbps, port 2 at 2Mbps, and the uplink port at 10Mbps, etc ... Thanks ... that's my first question, more questions may come later :) RackMy.com 08-03-2002, 01:11 PM Yep! From Extreme's site:Policy-Based QoS, including bandwidth management, prioritization and congestion control dektong 08-03-2002, 01:54 PM Thank you rackmy, I saw that line too, but I am just not 100% sure if bandwith management there means exactly the ability to cap bandwith per port. Have you had experience with Summit48 and you know for sure that you can do bandwith capping with it? Thank you again ... dektong 08-03-2002, 02:00 PM btw, note that summit48 come with basic Layer 3 upgradeable to full Layer 3 (at a cost). Not sure whether the bandwith management comes with the basic layer 3. Would be happy if somebody can verify this for me. Again, thanks ...

RackMy.com 08-03-2002, 04:40 PM I am 99.999% sure you can do it with the basic L3 os (I know you can with Foundry). dektong 08-03-2002, 04:52 PM dang, I need the 0.001% uncertainty left out :) Too bad it's weekend, I would just call their sales but I guess I will have to wait till monday ... so rackmy, what switches are you using? RackMy.com 08-03-2002, 05:00 PM We use a variety, lots of Foundry (NetIrons, FastIrons, ServerIrons), Lots of HP 2524s and a few others. RackMy.com 08-03-2002, 05:05 PM I just read the manual quickly and it does look like you can rate limit by ACL or by a QOS policy. dektong 08-03-2002, 05:06 PM Hi rackmy, thanks again. I wonder how Foundry is compared to Extreme (can be a long debate here :) ). But does Foundry FastIron Workgroup FWS24 also do bandwith capping? |
