reduce the burden of the CPU, ensuring nonstop service transmission. After this function is
configured, the AR1200-S discards excess packets.
NOTE
After rate limiting of ICMP packets is configured, the AR1200-S may fail to respond to ping packets.
Procedure
l
Configuring the global rate limit for ICMP packets
1.
Run:
system-view
The system view is displayed.
2.
Run:
icmp rate-limit enable
The global ICMP packet rate limiting function is enabled.
By default, the global ICMP packet rate limiting function is disabled on an AR1200-
S.
3.
(Optional) Run:
icmp rate-limit
threshold
threshold-value
The global rate limit for ICMP packets is set.
By default, the global rate limit for ICMP packets is 100 pps.
l
Configuring the rate limit for ICMP packets on a specified interface
1.
Run:
system-view
The system view is displayed.
2.
Run:
interface
interface-type
interface-number
The interface view is displayed.
The AR1200-S can limit the rate at which ICMP packets are received on GE
interfaces,Ethernet interfaces and Eth-Trunk interfaces.
3.
Run:
icmp rate-limit enable
The ICMP packet rate limiting function is enabled on the interface.
By default, the ICMP packet rate limiting function is disabled on an AR1200-S.
4.
(Optional) Run:
icmp rate-limit
threshold
threshold-value
The highest rate at which ICMP packets are received on the interface is set.
By default, the rate limit for ICMP packets on an interface is 100 pps
To configure rate limits for ICMP packets on multiple interfaces, repeat this step.
