If you are doing this in Vmware land, then the port group itself is set to a certain rate. So if the port group has already been created, it will have the pre-existing rate set for the port group. You can change this through the vcenter API and set the port groups to whatever rate you want.When you drop in the new rate, a new port group will be made with the rate limiting and your hosts in it.
