Set Port Broadcast; Clear Port Broadcast - Enterasys D-Series Cli Reference Manual

set port broadcast

Use this command to set the broadcast suppression threshold, in packets per second, on one or
more ports. This sets a threshold on the broadcast traffic that is received and switched out to other
ports.
Syntax
set port broadcast port-string threshold-val
Parameters
port‐string
threshold‐val
Defaults
None.
Mode
Switch command, read‐write.
Usage
Per port broadcast suppression is hardset to be globally enabled on the D2. If you would like to
disable broadcast suppression, you can get the same result by setting the threshold limit for each
port to the maximum number of packets which can be received per second as listed in the
parameters section, above. The default broadcast suppression threshold for all ports is set to
14881.
Example
This example configures ports 1 through 5 with a broadcast limit of 50 pps:
D2(su)->set port broadcast ge.1.1-5 50

clear port broadcast

Use this command to clear the broadcast threshold limit to the default value of 14881 for the
selected port.
