Use undo multicast-suppression to restore the default.
Syntax
multicast-suppression { ratio | pps max-pps | kbps max-kbps }
undo multicast-suppression
Default
Ethernet interfaces do not suppress multicast traffic.
Views
Ethernet interface view
Predefined user roles
network-admin
Parameters
ratio: Sets the multicast suppression threshold as a percentage of the maximum interface rate. The value
range for this argument (in percentage) is 0 to 100. The smaller the percentage, the less multicast traffic
is allowed to pass through.
pps max-pps: Specifies the maximum number of multicast packets that the interface can forward per
second. The value range for the max-pps argument (in pps) is 1 to 1.4881 × the maximum interface rate.
For example, the value range for this argument is 1 to 1488100 on a GE interface and 1 to 59524000
on a 40-GE interface.
kbps max-kbps: Specifies the maximum number of kilobits of multicast traffic that the Ethernet interface
can forward per second. The value range for this argument (in kbps) is 1 to the maximum interface rate.
Usage guidelines
You can use the multicast storm suppression function to limit the size of multicast traffic on an interface.
When the multicast traffic on the interface exceeds this threshold, the system drops packets until the traffic
drops below this threshold.
Both the storm-constrain and multicast-suppression can suppress multicast storm on a port. The
storm-constrain command uses software to suppress traffic, and it affects the device performance to a
certain extent. The multicast-suppression command uses the chip to physically suppress multicast traffic,
and it has less influence on the device performance than the storm-constrain command. Do not configure
the storm constrain command and the multicast-suppression command on a port. Otherwise, the traffic
suppression result is not determined.
When you configure the suppression threshold in pps or kbps, the device might convert the configured
value into a multiple of a certain step supported by the chip. As a result, the actual suppression threshold
might be different from the configured one. To determine the suppression threshold that takes effect, see
the prompts on the device.
Examples
# Set the multicast storm suppression threshold to 10000 kbps on Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/1/5.
