Set the Rate and Burst Tolerance of a Traffic Stream

You can use the meter command to set the rate (in Mbps) and burst tolerance (in KB) of a traffic stream.

1. Set the rate and burst tolerance.

   SEFOS# configure terminal 
   SEFOS(config)# meter 4000 
   SEFOS(config-meter)# meter-type srTCM color-mode blind cir 5000 cbs 50 ebs 50 
   SEFOS(config-meter)# exit 
   SEFOS(config)# meter 4001 
   SEFOS(config-meter)# meter-type trTCM color-mode blind cir 5000 cbs 50 eir 7000 ebs 100 
   SEFOS(config-meter)# exit 
   SEFOS(config)# meter 4002 
   SEFOS(config-meter)# meter-type trTCM color-mode blind cir 7000 cbs 50 eir 9000 ebs 100 
   SEFOS(config-meter)# exit 
   SEFOS(config)# exit 
   

2. Review the meter information.

   SEFOS# show meter

   The MeterID 4000 value defines a meter with the same CBS and EBS. This meter is effectively a simple token bucket meter.
