Ethernet interface configuration commands

The Ethernet interface numbers in this document are for example, and do not mean that Ethernet
interfaces with these numbers exist on the switch.

broadcast-suppression

Syntax
broadcast-suppression { ratio | pps max-pps | kbps max-kbps }
undo broadcast-suppression
View
Ethernet interface view
Default level
2: System level
Parameters
ratio: Sets the broadcast suppression threshold as a percentage of the maximum interface rate, ranging
from 1 to 100. The smaller the percentage, the less broadcast traffic is allowed to pass through.
pps max-pps: Specifies the maximum number of broadcast packets that the Ethernet interface can
forward per second.
For GE ports, the max-pps argument ranges from 1 to 1,488,100 pps.
•
• For 10-GE ports, the max-pps argument ranges from 1 to 14,881,000 pps.
kbps max-kbps: Specifies the maximum number of kilobits of broadcast traffic that the Ethernet interface
can forward per second.
For GE ports, the max-kbps argument ranges from 1 to 1,024,000 kbps.
•
For 10-GE ports, the max-kbps argument ranges from 1 to 10,240,000 kbps.
•
Description
Use broadcast-suppression to set the broadcast suppression threshold on one or multiple Ethernet
interfaces.
Use undo broadcast-suppression to restore the default.
By default, Ethernet interfaces do not suppress broadcast traffic.
When broadcast traffic exceeds the broadcast suppression threshold, the system discards broadcast
packets until the broadcast traffic drops below the threshold.
NOTE:
If you set different broadcast suppression thresholds in Ethernet interface view multiple times, the one
•
configured last takes effect.
For a particular type of traffic, configure either storm suppression or storm control, but not both. If both
•
of them are configured, you may fail to achieve the expected storm control effect.
