PLATFORM MULTICAST
RATELIMIT
platform multicast-ratelimit
Overview
Use this command to set the maximum number of multicast packets to be
forwarded to the CPU (in packets per second). Setting the value to zero disables
rate limiting.
This command should be used with care. Increasing or removing the limit could
make the device less responsive under heavy multicast load.
Use the no variant of this command to return the limit to its default.
platform multicast-ratelimit <0-1000>
Syntax
no platform multicast-ratelimit
Default
10 packets per second (pps)
Mode
Global Configuration
Usage notes
If you find that the CPU load on your device from multicast traffic is higher than
desired, reducing this rate may reduce the CPU load.
If you need the device to process a large amount of multicast traffic, increasing this
rate may improve performance.
Example
To set the rate to 30pps, use the commands:
awplus#
awplus(config)#
Command
Version 5.4.8-1.1: default changed to 100pps on SBx908 GEN2, SBx8100, and x930
