Syntax
broadcast-suppression { ratio | bps max-bps }
undo broadcast-suppression
View
System view, Ethernet port view
Parameter
ratio: Maximum ratio of the broadcast traffic allowed on a port to the total transmission capacity of the
port. The value ranges from 1 to 100 (in step of 1) and defaults to 100. The smaller the ratio is, the less
broadcast traffic is allowed.
max-bps: Maximum number (in Kbps) of broadcast traffic that can be received per second on an
Ethernet port (in step of 64). This argument can only be configured on Ethernet port view.
For a 100Mbps Ethernet port, the max-bps argument is in the range 64 to 99,968.
For a GigabitEthernet port, the max-bps argument is in the range 64 to 1,000,000.
Description
Use the broadcast-suppression command to limit broadcast traffic allowed to be received on each
port (in system view) or on a specified port (in Ethernet port view).
Use the undo broadcast-suppression command to restore the default broadcast suppression setting.
The broadcast-suppression command is used to enable broadcast suppression. By default,
broadcast suppression is disabled.
When incoming broadcast traffic exceeds the broadcast traffic threshold you set, the system drops the
packets exceeding the threshold to reduce the broadcast traffic ratio to the specified range, so as to
keep normal network service.
You can use the undo broadcast-suppression command in system view to cancel the broadcast
suppression settings on all ports, or use the broadcast-suppression command in system view to make a
global setting.
Executing the commands in Ethernet port view only takes effect on the current port.
