I have a SCCm 2012 set up.  Got a primary site and a secondary site.  My distribution point for the secondary site is on the Secondary Site Server.  I need to set the rate limits for this distribution point.  How can I do this?  The rate limits tab i snot available on the distribution point as this DP is on the secondary site server.  Also, if I go to Hierarchy Configuration, I do not see ADDRESSES to set it there.  How do I do this?  Thanks

The first question would be, why did you use a secondary site? Is there a specific need for it? In ConfigMgr 2012, the need for secondary sites is reduced since you can have just a DP in remote sites.

To answer the question, though, I addresses are in Administration | Overview | Hierarchy Configuration | file Replication.  You should be able to set rate limits there, I believe

You can set Rate Limit on DP as below...

Administration--> Distribution Points --> Select DP --> Properties--> Rate Limit..

Thanks

Actually, as the original poster said, when the DP is on a site server, the rate limit tab is not there:

See here: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712321.aspx

It's not there because the primary site does not distribute content to a DP co-located on a secondary site server. The primary site server only distributes content to DPs in the primary site and secondary site servers. Thus, you need to configure the rate limits going to the secondary site. This got renamed at some point but I'm pretty sure its under the File Limits node under Hierarchy configuration (this is what used to be the Addresses node but addresses didn't really make sense anymore).
