broadcast-suppression

Syntax
broadcast-suppression { ratio | pps max-pps }
undo broadcast-suppression
View
Ethernet port view, port group view
Default Level
2: System level
Parameters
ratio: Maximum percentage of broadcast traffic to the total transmission capability of an Ethernet port.
The smaller the ratio, the less broadcast traffic is allowed to pass through the interface. this argument
ranges from 1 to 100.
pps max-pps: Specifies the maximum number of broadcast packets that can be forwarded on an
Ethernet port per second (in pps, representing packets per second).
For a Gigabit port, the value range is 1 to 1488100.
For a 10-Gigabit port, the value range is 1 to 1488100.
Note that:
When a suppression granularity larger than 1 is specified on the device, the value of the pps
keyword should be no smaller than and an integral multiple of the granularity. The broadcast
suppression threshold value configured through this keyword on an Ethernet port may not be the
one that actually takes effect. To display the actual broadcast suppression threshold value on an
Ethernet port, you can use the display interface command.
When no suppression granularity is specified or the suppression granularity is set to 1, the value
of the pps keyword should be no smaller than 1, and the broadcast suppression threshold value is
the one that actually takes effect on the Ethernet port.
Description
Use the broadcast-suppression command to set a broadcast traffic threshold on one or multiple
Ethernet ports.
Use the undo broadcast-suppression command to restore the default.
By default, all broadcast traffic is allowed to pass through an Ethernet port, that is, broadcast traffic is
not suppressed.
