Configuring the SLPP by port

Use SLPP on a port to avoid traffic loops on the port.

Note

To provide protection against broadcast and multicast storms, as a best practice, enable Rate Limiting for broadcast traffic and multicast traffic.

Before you begin

In the navigation tree, expand the following folders: Configuration > VLAN.
Click SLPP.
Click the Ports tab.
Double-click the PktRxThreshold box for the desired port to edit the threshold value for packet reception.
Double-click the SlppEnable box for the desired port.
Select true to enable SLPP.
Click Apply.

Use the data in the following table to use the Ports tab.


Name	Description
IfIndex	Specifies the interface index number for a port.
PktRxThreshold	Specifies the threshold for packet reception. Configure the SLPP packet receive threshold to a value (1- 500) that represents the number of received SLPP-PDUs to shut down the port. This variable is a port-level parameter, therefore if the port is tagged, SLPP-PDUs from the various VLANs increment this single threshold counter. The default is 1.
SlppEnable	Activates SLPP on the selected interface. The default is disabled.
IncomingVlanId	Shows the VLAN ID of the classified packet on a port disabled by SLPP.
SrcNodeType	Specifies the source node type of the received SLPP packet.
PktRxCount	Shows the total number of SLPP packets the port received.
TimeToClrPktRxCount	Specifies the timer to clear the SLPP receive counter. After you enable SLPP and the port receives SLPP PDUs, the timer starts. After the timer exceeds the configured value, the system resets the count to zero. The default is 21,600 seconds.
RemainingTimeToClrPktRxCount	Shows the time remaining before the SLPP receive counter is reset to zero.

The following table provides the SLPP values.
