Bandwidth control - bi-directional

[Chimpfu443]

hi

Does anyone have an idea on how to effectively control bandwidth between two cisco routers directly connected to each other such that on its 10MBps out of my router interface and its 4Mbps into my router interface.

Hi.

You could consider configuring generic traffic shaping on the interfaces in question. I think the following doc explains how to get it up and running quite nicely.

Let us know if you're having issues getting it configured.

if you wanted the quck and dirty version you could just apply rate limits to the interfaces attached.

rate limits can be applied to access lists as well if you wanted to only limit certain ips or networks.

Thanks guys, I noticed traffic shape rate does not work for input and output on an interface.

I have put in rate-limit input and rate-limit output on the interface and it is looking good. I have also configured it to drop exceeding packets, and also burst rate.

interface FastEthernet0/0.2
description TESTER
encapsulation dot1Q 2
ip address 192.168.4.2 255.255.255.252
rate-limit input 256000 38400 38400 conform-action transmit exceed-action drop
rate-limit output 512000 38400 38400 conform-action transmit exceed-action drop
!

Any thing I might need to add for good traffic control.

if you did want to use a service policy, you would just need to set them on the output of both ends of your cct.

I could do the out on both ends, but unfortunately the other router is not mine, its a client's router and I need to control what he pushes and downloads. I will also enforce rate limit at his end but you never know what he can do in his router.
