To enable the maximum flood rate on a slot enter interfaces followed by the slot number and flood. For
example, to enable the maximum flood rate on slot 2 enter:
-> interfaces 2 flood
As an option, you can document the interface type by entering ethernet, fastethernet, or gigaethernet
before the slot number. For example, to enable the maximum flood rate on slot 2 enter and document the
slot as Gigabit Ethernet enter:
-> interfaces gigaethernet 2 flood
