Configuring Flood Rates; Enabling The Maximum Flood Rate; Enabling Maximum Flood Rate For Multicast Traffic - Alcatel OmniSwitch 6800 Series Network Configuration Manual

Configuring Ethernet Ports
As an option, you can document the interface type by entering ethernet, fastethernet, or gigaethernet
before the slot number. For example, to administratively disable port 3 on slot 2 and document the port as
Fast Ethernet:
-> interfaces fastethernet 2/3 admin down

Configuring Flood Rates

The following subsections describe how to enable the maximum flood rate (see

ports, or all ports on a switch (slot).
Note. To enable flood multicasting on an interface, see
Traffic" on page 1-9.
To enable the maximum flood rate on a slot enter interfaces followed by the slot number and flood. For
example, to enable the maximum flood rate on port 3 on slot 2 enter:
-> interfaces 2/3 flood
To enable the maximum flood rate on a single port enter interfaces followed by the slot number, a
slash (/), the port number, and flood. For example, to enable the maximum flood rate on slot 2 enter:
-> interfaces 2 flood
To enable the maximum flood rate on a range of ports port enter interfaces followed by the slot number, a
slash (/), the first port number, a hyphen (-), the last port number, and flood. For example, to enable the
maximum flood rate on ports 3 through 4 on slot 2 enter:
-> interfaces 2/3-4 flood
As an option, you can document the interface type by entering ethernet, fastethernet, or gigaethernet
before the slot number. For example, to enable the maximum flood rate on slot 2 enter and document the
slot as Gigabit Ethernet enter:
-> interfaces gigaethernet 2 flood
