Set Bandwidth Limit on Cisco Switch Port

Step 1
Choose a port on a switch to limit the bandwidth.

Step 2
Set the bandwidth of the port. Use bandwidth command to set the bandwidth.
I set 10000 bandwidth on the port because I have 100Mbps.

Step 3
Use srr-queue bandwidth limit command to limit the bandwidth from 10 to
90%. I set 10% bandwidth limit to achieve 10Mbps bandwidth on the port.

InterVLAN Routing on Layer 3 Cisco Switch

1. Enable IP routing on the switch.

Switch#conf t
Switch(config)# ip routing


2. Create a VLAN.

Switch(config)#vlan 10
Switch(config-vlan)#name MARKETING
Switch(config-vlan)#exit
Switch(config)#vlan 20
Switch(config-vlan)#name HR
Switch(config-vlan)#exit


3. Configure VLAN interface with IP Address.

Switch(config)#int vlan 10
Switch(config-if)#ip address 10.0.10.250 255.255.255.0
Switch(config-if)#no shutdown
Switch(config-if)#exit
Switch(config)#int vlan 20
Switch(config-if)#ip address 10.0.20.250 255.255.255.0
Switch(config-if)#no shutdown
Switch(config-if)#exit
Switch(config)#


4. Configure one interface of the switch to become default router.

Switch(config)#int gigabitEthernet 2/0/1
Switch(config-if)#no switchport
Switch(config-if)#no shutdown
Switch(config-if)#ip address 10.0.1.1 255.255.255.0
Switch(config-if)#exit
Switch(config)#exit
Switch#copy run start


5. Configure DHCP for each VLAN.

Switch#conf t
Switch(config)#ip dhcp pool MARKETING
Switch(dhcp-config)#network 10.0.10.0 255.255.255.0

Switch(dhcp-config)#ip dhcp excluded-address 10.0.20.250 10.0.20.254
Switch(dhcp-config)#exit
Switch(config)#exit
Switch#copy run start


6. Assign VLAN to an interface.

Switch#conf t
Switch(config)#int range gigabitEthernet 20/0/2-10

Gateway: 192.168.1.3
DNS Server: 8.8.8.8

4. Connect the 2 network cables from your 2 routers into the switch.
    Try to type ping 8.8.8.8 on the command prompt on the computer that was
    connected to the switch. Then unplug the cable of your first router from the
    switch. The computer will be disconnected to the internet for few seconds.                                           It will automatically connect to your second ISP.
