DESCRIPTION
Enter a number from 0 to 256 to specify how many control packets this port can receive or
transmit per second.
0 means no rate limit.
You can configure the action that the Switch takes when the limit is exceeded. See
29.4 on page 232 for detailed information.
Click Apply to save your changes to the Switch's run-time memory. The Switch loses these
changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Save link on the top navigation panel to
save your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are done configuring.
Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.
DESCRIPTION
This field displays the types of control packet that may cause CPU overload.
Use this row to make the setting the same for all entries. Use this row first and then make

Changes in this row are copied to all the entries as soon as you make them.
Select this option to have the Switch detect if the configured rate limit for a specific control
packet is exceeded and take the action selected below.
Select the action that the Switch takes when the number of control packets exceed the rate
limit on a port, set in the Advanced Application > Errdisable > CPU protection screen.
inactive-port - The Switch disables the port on which the control packets are received.
• inactive-reason - The Switch drops all the specified control packets (such as BPDU) on
the port.
rate-limitation - The Switch decreases the priority value to CPU of the additional control
packets the port has to handle in every one second.
