[nsp] Rate Limiting?

[Sam Stickland]

I had another email today questioning the 3550 rate-limiting setup I
described below and I realised I'd described it slight wrong. Since people
are obviously lifting this from the list archives I figured I ought to post
a working configuration ;)

class-map match-any any
  match any

policy-map 128kbps
  class any
    police 128000 24000 exceed-action drop

interface FastEthernet0/4
 service-policy input 128kbps
 service-policy output 128kbps
