Title: Level 3 Switching (Bandwidth Limiting) on the Green Interface Post by: Tyson0317 on Tuesday 15 October 2013, 08:02:39 am We have a problem that I hope I can address with the Endian box.
We have a device on our LAN that periodically slams our internet connection. I need to figure out how to bandwidth limit it and preferably still keep it on our 'green' network for other functionality. I cannot modify the device to be less hogging. Level 2 port speed settings will not work - I need to throttle the bandwidth beyond just 10/100 (I'd like to set it to 20D/5U) QoS will not work - this device does not play well with QoS. What I would like to do is to add a 3rd NIC to my Endian box, assign it to the GREEN interface, thus I will have 2 green interfaces and effectively a 2-port switch. It seems like Endian supports this part without a problem. The trick is that I want to bandwidth-limit one of those green interfaces, while leaving the other one on the unlimited - this will ensure a minimum internet pipe space for the unlimited port. The Endian does L3 functions, there has to be a CLI or SSH method of doing this - maybe loading some module into the core Linux load? |
