how to traffic limit in NSX

Hi,

I consider that there is no capability to shape traffic for vNics in NSX-v features.

In vSphere, there is traffic shaping features for vSS/vDS.

Tomizo is correct, NSX does not have any rate limiting functions, because vSphere already does.

You can do a few things;

- Rate limit or prioritise on a global scale with Network I/O Control: VMware vSphere 6.5 Documentation Library

- Create a per VM bandwidth allocation: VMware vSphere 6.5 Documentation Library

thank your answer.

If the VM connect to NSX logical switch,Can I limit VM vnic's traffic input/output

Hi,

Logical switch is recognized as distributed portgroup in vSphere environment (vCenter and ESXi).

Thus, if you want to shape traffic for VMs connecting this portgroup, I think you can shape traffic by normal operations for distributed portgroup (described by smitmartijn).
