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 <[email protected]> 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.
