show port broadcast

Use this command to display port broadcast suppression information for one or more ports.

Syntax

show port broadcast [port-string]

Parameters

port-string (Optional) Displays broadcast status for specific port(s).

Defaults

If port-string is not specified, broadcast status of all ports will be displayed.

Mode

All command modes.

Usage

The Peak Rate reflects the peak rate of broadcast packets to the CPU. The 7100-Series platform does not report the peak rate going through the device, but may instead report a more limited value such as the packets seen by the host.

Example

This example shows how to display broadcast information for port ge.2.2:

System(rw)->show port broadcast ge.2.2
Port          Total BC       Threshold       Peak Rate   Peak Rate Time
              Packets        (pkts/s)        (pkts/s)    (ddd:hh:mm:ss)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
