Extreme switches question(s)
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

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 ...

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 ...

I am 99.999% sure you can do it with the basic L3 os (I know you can with Foundry).

We use a variety, lots of Foundry (NetIrons, FastIrons, ServerIrons), Lots of HP 2524s and a few others.

I just read the manual quickly and it does look like you can rate limit by ACL or by a QOS policy.

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?
