How to configurate Huawei Switch Rate Limiting from Different VLANs

This blog will share detailed procedure on how to configurate Huawei Switch Rate Limiting for Services from Different VLANs, which is applicable to Huawei switch series S300, S500, S2700, S5700, and S6700 certain version.

Networking Requirements

Voice, video, and data services are transmitted in VLAN 120, VLAN 110, and VLAN 100 respectively.

Traffic policing needs to be configured on the Huawei Switch to police packets of different services so that traffic is limited within a proper range and bandwidth of each service is guaranteed.

Networking of traffic policing

Configuration Roadmap

The configuration roadmap is as follows:

Create VLANs and configure interfaces so that users can access the Internet through the Switch.
Configure ACLs on the Switch to match services from different VLANs.
Configure ACL-based traffic policing on the Switch to rate-limit packets.

Procedure

Create VLANs and configure interfaces.

# Create VLAN 100, VLAN 110, and VLAN 120 on the Switch.

<HUAWEI> system-view[HUAWEI] sysname Switch[Switch] vlan batch 100 110 120

# Configure GE0/0/1 and GE0/0/2 as trunk interfaces, and add GE0/0/1 and GE0/0/2 to VLAN 100, VLAN 110, and VLAN 120.

Configure ACLs.

# Configure Layer 2 ACLs on the Switch to classify different service flows based on the VLAN ID.

Configure traffic policing.

# Configure traffic policing in the inbound direction of GE0/0/1 on the Switch to rate-limit different packets.

Verify the configuration.

# Check information about ACLs and actions on the interface in the inbound direction.
