Question : Best way to limit bandwidth per-VLAN

Given an array of 2950's and 3550 Catalyst switches, what's the best way of limiting bandwidth (traffic shaping, rate limiting, policing, etc) on any particular VLAN, preferably not going to a per-port basis so that any port assigned to a VLAN automatically gets the limiting? Keeping an open mind here...

Answer : Best way to limit bandwidth per-VLAN

Interesting.... I don't know of any way to throttle per vlan, only on per-port ...
You can use broadcast/storm control to minimize impact of virus/worm activity.
Sounds like you need a custom web interface that the users themselves could up their bandwidth (and agree to pay for it, of course), Upon authorization, custom scripts could go out and make the changes to necessary switchports for you....
If you were using the LRE models, I think there is some inherent capabilities for bandwidth control..

Sorry I can't be more help to you.. perhaps some of our other Experts here can chime in...
