highest speed of 1000 Mbps. If the transmission rate of each server in the server cluster is 1000 Mbps,
their total transmission rate will exceed the capability of port Ethernet 1/0/4, the port providing access
to the Internet for the servers.
To avoid congestion on Ethernet 1/0/4, set 100 Mbps as the only option available for speed
negotiation on port Ethernet 1/0/1, Ethernet 1/0/2, and Ethernet 1/0/3. As a result, the transmission
rate on each port connected to a server is limited to 100 Mbps.
Follow these steps to set speed options for auto negotiation on an Ethernet interface:
To do...
Enter system view
Enter Ethernet interface view
Set speed options for auto negotiation
NOTE:
This function is available only for Layer 2 copper ports that support speed auto negotiation, and is

unavailable for combo interfaces.
The speed and speed auto commands supersede each other, and whichever is configured last takes

Configuring storm suppression

You can use the storm suppression function to limit the size of a particular type of traffic (broadcast,
multicast, or unknown unicast traffic) as a whole globally in system view or on a per-interface basis in
Ethernet interface view or port group view.
NOTE:
The storm suppression thresholds configured for an Ethernet interface might become invalid if you enable
the storm control function for the interface. For information about the storm control function, see
