Usage
Per port broadcast suppression is hardset to be globally enabled on the G3. If you would like to
disable broadcast suppression, you can get the same result by setting the threshold limit for each
port to the maximum number of packets which can be received per second as listed in the
parameters section, above. The default broadcast suppression threshold for all ports is set to
14881.
Example
This example configures ports 1 through 5 with a broadcast limit of 50 pps:
G3(su)->set port broadcast ge.1.1-5 50
clear port broadcast
Use this command to clear the broadcast threshold limit to the default value of 14881 for the
selected port.

Port Mirroring
The G ‐ Series device allows you to mirror (or redirect) the traffic being switched on a port for the
purposes of network traffic analysis and connection assurance. When port mirroring is enabled,
one port becomes a monitor port for another port within the device.
port ‐ string Select the ports for which to clear broadcast suppression thresholds. For a
detailed description of possible port ‐ string values, refer to “ Port String
Syntax Used in the CLI ” on page 4 ‐ 1.
Caution: Port mirroring configuration should be performed only by personnel who are
knowledgeable about the effects of port mirroring and its impact on network operation.
