Just google 2950 and "rate-limit" and you'll see that it's possible to do so with the EI immage....but in 1 Mbps increments.

Oh--you mentioned in an earlier post that the Cisco switch was installed by the ISP, so presumably that is something they consider their CPE as well. You can't rate-limit IP bandwidth on Layer 2 switches, and a Catalyst 2950 does not have a Layer 3 feature set; that only comes with MSFCs on higher-order Catalysts. So, they are doing in some fashion other than on the switch ports, which is why I asked about the routed interfaces; does anything plugged into a given port have a separate routed interface? -- Alex On Fri, 13 Feb 2009 04:17:37 -0500, Alex Balashov <abalas...@evaristesys.com> wrote: > > This discussion is not making any sense to me. > > Just what type of access product is this? > > If you have fiber to the premise and are handed Ethernet from there to > a Cisco switch, it is some sort of Metro Ethernet or NMLI (Native Mode > LAN > Interconnection) type product.
