Sets a threshold value on a bridge port that affects the per-second
forwarding rate of multicast or broadcast traffic.

Important Considerations
You can use this command to configure the same setting on multiple
ports simultaneously. When you specify multiple port numbers, the
module prompts you to choose the setting and then applies it to all of
the ports.
A value of zero indicates that no limit is configured.
If you want to configure a limit for a trunk, be sure to apply it to the
trunk's anchor port (lowest-numbered port) only. However, be aware
that the limit that you specify applies separately to each link in the
trunk, even though you only enter it once.
For a larger array of similar options on Multilayer Switching Modules,
see the Quality of Service (QoS) chapters in this guide (Chapter 18)
and in the Switch 4007 Implementation Guide.
