Limiting Traffic On Individual Ports; Enabling Flow Control On A Port - H3C S3100 Series Operation Manual

After you configure auto-negotiation speed(s) for a port, if you execute the undo speed command
or the speed auto command, the auto-negotiation speed setting of the port restores to the default
setting.
The effect of executing speed auto 10 100 1000 equals to that of executing speed auto, that is,
the port is configured to support all the auto-negotiation speeds: 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000
Mbps.

Limiting Traffic on individual Ports

By performing the following configurations, you can limit the incoming broadcast/ unknown
multicast/unknown unicast traffic on individual ports. When a type of incoming traffic exceeds the
threshold you set, the system drops the packets exceeding the traffic limit to reduce the traffic ratio of
this type to the reasonable range, so as to keep normal network service.

Enabling Flow Control on a Port

Flow control is enabled on both the local and peer switches. If congestion occurs on the local switch:
The local switch sends a message to notify the peer switch of stopping sending packets to itself or
reducing the sending rate temporarily.
The peer switch will stop sending packets to the local switch or reduce the sending rate temporarily
when it receives the message; and vice versa. By this way, packet loss is avoided and the network
service operates normally.
