Configuring a Broadcast Limit on the Switch
Broadcast-Limit on switches covered in this guide is configured on a per-port
basis. You must be at the port context level for this command to work, for
example:
ProCurve(config)#int B1
ProCurve(int B1)# broadcast-limit 1
Broadcast-Limit.
Disables per-port flow
control on ports A1 through
A4 . Flow control is now
disabled on the switch.
Ports formerly configured for
flow control.
Syntax:
broadcast-limit <0-99>
Enables or disables broadcast limiting for outbound
broadcasts on a selected port on the switch. The value selected
is the percentage of traffic allowed, for example,
broadcast-limit
5
allows 5% of the maximum amount of traffic for that port. A
value of zero disables broadcast limiting for that port.
Note:
You must switch to port context level before issuing the
broadcast-limit
command.
Note:
This feature is not appropriate for networks requiring
high levels of IPX or RIP broadcast traffic.
Syntax:
show config
Displays the startup-config file. The broadcast limit setting
appears here if enabled and saved to the startup-config file.
