Hey folks -

        Is it possible to reduce the amount of available bandwidth on a
Catalyst (6509) switch port?  I found a link on CCO which talks about
"traffic policing," but it only shows how to configure it using some GUI,
and I have a feeling it's not what I'm looking for.

        Before anyone asks WPAYTTS: We've got a couple of hubs which we're
going to convert to VLANs on a 6509.  There are proxy servers on these hubs,
but they're sort of old and are due to be upgraded eventually.  Since
they're used to having less-than-10Mb connections, we don't want to "shock"
them by suddenly moving them to 10Mb ports on the 6509.  So I'd like to
reduce the amount of throughput on just those ports that the proxies plug
into.  Once the proxies have been upgraded, we'll let them run at the normal
10Mb.

        Any suggestions?  Thanks in advance.

        BJ
