Port Broadcast Suppression

Broadcast suppression sets a threshold on the broadcast traffic that is received and switched out to other ports. The maximum value in packets per second is 1488100. If the maximum value is configured, broadcast suppression is disabled. Broadcast suppression is disabled by default.

Use the set port broadcast command in any command mode to set the broadcast suppression limit, in packets per second, on the specified ports.

The following example sets the broadcast suppression threshold to 10000 packets per second for port ge.1.1:

System(rw)->set port broadcast ge.1.1 10000
System(rw)->show port broadcast ge.1.1
Port          Total BC       Threshold       Peak Rate   Peak Rate Time
              Packets        (pkts/s)        (pkts/s)    (ddd:hh:mm:ss)
