Packets [s]
The maximum number of frames that a port block receives per second. Packets that exceed
this limit value are discarded.
Note
The ring ports send multicast frames at cyclic intervals to detect line breaks. For port blocks
that contain ring ports, you should therefore not limit the receipt of multicast frames to ensure
that the redundancy manager functions correctly.

Command
Description
Comment
info <Blocks>
Shows the current settings for limiting packets. The
settings are displayed according to port blocks.
The port blocks are defined as follows:
•
Port 1 on slot 5
•
Port 2 on slot 5
•
The ports on slots 6, 7 and 11.
•
The ports on slots 9 and 10.
•
The ports of an installed extender, in other words,
the ports of slots 12 and 13 of a twisted pair ex-
tender and the ports 12 through 15 of a media mod-
ule extender.
If a parameter (blocks) is
specified, the CLI only dis-
plays the selected values.
inmode <E|D> <E|D> <E|D>
[blocks]
Specifies the ingress limiting mode for ports. The three
entries for E or D are (in this order) for
•
Unicast (DLF)
•
Multicast
•
Broadcast
The port blocks are defined as for the info command.
Examples:
•
inmode E D E 1
Enables unicast and broadcast, disables multicast
for port block 1.
•
inmode D E D
Disables unicast and broadcast, enables multicast
for all port blocks.
Administrator only.
If the parameter (blocks) is not
specified, all blocks are
changed.
ingress <packets> [blocks]
Specifies the maximum number of incoming packets
processed by the IE switch for each port block.
The port blocks are defined as for the info command.
Administrator only.
If the parameter (blocks) is not
