2 rate-limit questions

[lemme2004]

hi,

I have two questions about rate-limit and hope find someone to help me

1- did the catalyst 3550 supports the rate-limit command (the 3560 supports well this command).

2- I tested the rate-limit with the catalyst 3560, this is my conf:

ip routing
!
interface FastEthernet0/1
switchport access vlan 2
no ip address
no mdix auto
!
the(other interfaces are in vlan 1 by default)
!
interface Vlan1
ip address 10.0.0.129 255.255.255.128
rate-limit input access-group 100 8000 1500 3000 conform-action transmit exceed-action drop
rate-limit output access-group 100 8000 1500 3000 conform-action transmit exceed-action drop
!


!
interface Vlan2
ip address 10.0.0.70 255.255.255.128
rate-limit input access-group 100 8000 1500 3000 conform-action transmit exceed-action drop
rate-limit output access-group 100 8000 1500 3000 conform-action transmit exceed-action drop
!
ip classless
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.0.0.1

this the prb :

1- when I try to ping the vlan 1 or 2,
the command
sh int vlan (1 or 2) rate-limit

gives: some pakets are in conform (the rate-limit works)

2- when I try to download the IOS from the swith
the command
sh int vlan (1 or 2) rate-limit

gives:some pakets are in conform and the others exceed and the bandwith is 8000 (the rate-limit works very well)

3 when I try to dowload files from pc1 in vlan 1 to pc2 in vlan2

the rate-limit didn't work and the sh int vlan (1 or 2) rate-limit gives 0 packets conform and 0 exceded.

what is this strange prblem?

Couple of questions for you regarding this.

1. When you ping vlan 1 or 2.. are you in the other vlan when you do this?

2. What are the contents of the ACL 100 you're using there.

3. Given you can ping and you see rate-limit working, it does sound like your config is probably ok. However I'm wondering whether you're perhaps using a non-IP mode of communication between the PC's? It's a long shot but how do you perform this download and what protocol stacks are defined on the PC's?

Let me know on the above questions.

thank u KiscoKid for the reply,
Here are the responses:

1-I'm in vlan 1, when I ping vlan 1 it works, the same thing when I ping vlan 2.

2 - the content of ACL 100 :
access-list 100 permit ip any any

3- to donwload I use microsoft shring files (netbios),
but the problem is also when I am in pc1 and I ping pc2, it doesn't work, so I think it's not a ip problem.

It seemw to me that the rate-limit is aplied only to the vlans? I tried also to do the same test with physical interfaces(Fastethernet), and it gives me the same result.

hi KiscoKid,

do you have any suggestion about this issue.

and for my first question does the catalyst 3550 supports rate-limit.

thanks
