interfaces flood multicast
Enables flood rate limiting for multicast traffic on the specified interface.
interfaces slot[/port[-port2]] flood multicast {enable | disable}
Syntax Definitions
slot Slot you want to configure (e.g., 3).
port Port number of the interface you want to configure.
port2 Last port number in a range of ports you want to configure.

Defaults
Platforms Supported
OmniSwitch 6250
Usage Guidelines
• You can only configure one slot at a time. Repeat the command to configure additional slots.
• When the interfaces flood multicast command is used to enable rate limiting, the peak flood rate
value configured for an interface is also applied to multicast traffic.
• Applying the peak flood rate value to multicast traffic also limits IP Multicast Switching (IPMS) and
non-IPMS multicast traffic.
• The peak flood rate value is configurable through the interfaces flood rate command. The interfaces
flood multicast command is not used to configure this value.
• When multicast rate limiting is disabled, the peak flood rate value for the interface is no longer applied
to multicast traffic. This does not prevent the normal flow of multicast traffic on the specified interface.
Examples
-> interfaces 3 flood multicast
-> interfaces 1/24 flood multicast
-> interfaces 1/23-24 flood multicast
