I'm really interested in rate limiting outbound... with many unknown dest IP's. Rob John Kristoff wrote:

I've got a situation in which I'd like to rate limit a few servers that hang off of my 6590's... it appears that this can only be done on a layer 3 interface. These servers however aren't, they simply on a switch port / access. Aside from hard setting the l2 interface to 10mbit, can anyone think of another creative way to do this? Is one option moving these servers into a separate VLAN, then rate-limiting from there?
Is rate limiting by source IP address an acceptable to you? If so, then you could do it that way. An untested example that should set you out in search of the necessary doc:
class-map match-all cm-src-specific match access-group name acl-src-specific ! interface Vlan99 service-policy input sp-rate-limit ! policy-map sp-rate-limit class cm-src-specific police flow mask src-only 1000000 4000 conform-action transmit exceed-action drop ! ip access-list extended acl-src-specific permit ip any any
