Configuring the Shaping Rate for Physical Interfaces
To configure the shaping rate on the physical interface, either include the shaping-rate statement at the [edit class-of-service interfaces interface-name] hierarchy level or include the output-traffic-control-profile statement at the [edit class-of-service interfaces interface-name] hierarchy level.
You can specify a peak bandwidth rate in bps, either as a complete decimal number or as a decimal number followed by the abbreviation k (1000), m (1,000,000), or g (1,000,000,000). For physical interfaces, the range is from 1000 through 160,000,000,000 bps.
For physical interfaces on T4000 routers with Type 5 FPCs, the shaping rate value for the physical interface must be a minimum of 292 Kbps. The maximum value of shaping-rate is limited by the maximum transmission rate of the interface.
The following are two example configurations for applying a shaping rate of 5 Gbps on a T4000 12x10 Gbps physical interface (xe-4/0/0):
Applying a shaping rate at the [edit class-of-service interfaces interface-name] hierarchy:
Applying a shaping rate using traffic-control-profiles:
