Configuring inbound rate-limiting for broadcast and multicast traffic
You can configure rate-limiting (throttling) of inbound broadcast and multicast traffic on the switch, which helps
prevent the switch from being disrupted by traffic storms if they occur on the rate-limited port. The rate-limiting is
implemented as a percentage of the total available bandwidth on the port.
The rate-limit command can be executed from the global or interface context, for Example:
switch(config)# interface 3 rate-limit bcast in percent 10
or
switch(config)# interface 3
switch(eth-3)# rate-limit bcast in percent 10
Syntax:
rate-limit {< bcast | mcast >} in percent < 0-100 >
Option
in percent <0-100>
Also supports configuring limit in kbps
[no] rate-limit {<bcast | [mcast >]} in
Enables rate-limiting and sets limits for the specified inbound broadcast or multicast traffic. Only the amount of
traffic specified by the percent is forwarded.
Default: Disabled
