Hi Jon, 

Easiest way to do that is to define an extra option in the config file. For
example, to set the max bytes for FastEthernet 0/1 on a Cisco switch with IP
address 192.168.1.16, you'd add this line to the config file: 

MaxBytes[192.168.1.16_Fa0_1]: 125000000

That's a for example - you may want to set it to something different. 

Hope this helps!
