Parameter Description Valid Options
Broadcast Max Rate Select whether to disable this parameter (off), or enter a value to
specify the maximum rate for broadcast traffic (packets/second).
This is an ingress rate limiter.
off, 0-16383999
Use "k" and "m" to multiply the
Unknown Mcast Max
Rate
Select whether to disable this parameter (off), or enter a value to
limit the rate for unknown multicast traffic (packets/seconds). Use
"k" and "m" to multiply rate.

Enter Value = 0–16,383,999
DLF Max Rate Select whether to disable this parameter (off), or enter a value for
the maximum ingress rate for unknown unicast or destination
lookup failure (DLF) traffic (packets/seconds). Use "k" and "m" to
multiply rate. DLF applies to unicast packets where the bridges
lookup the destination MAC address in their learning tables and
cannot find it (a lookup miss) thus floods the packet to the
broadcast domain until the packet hits a bridge that knows
(learned) the destination MAC address or the packet is received by

LACP Priority Priority value to use for determining which port to activate in a
LAG. The lower value takes priority.
For example, in a cross-card protection LAG, set the ports on the
active card to a common LACP priority value, and then set the
LAG ports on the standby card to another common priority value.
The priority value on the active card ports must be lower than the
value set for the ports on the standby card.

LACP Timeout The length of timeout for LACP.
Note: Avoid the use of LACP long timeouts, unless there is a very
short ‡
long
Duplex Duplex mode for the port.
Half-duplex uses Carrier Sense Multiple Access (CSMA) to
detect collisions and recover from them.
Full-duplex transmits and receives at the same time. Note:
Use this setting for ERPS ring ports.
Auto:
If the link is auto-negotiated, the duplex attribute is negotiated
with the link partner.
If the link speed is forced to a set value, full duplex is the
half, full, auto‡ (auto-negotiate
duplex value with the link
partner)
Flow control Applies back pressure to a transmitter that is outrunning the
receiver's capacity to process incoming data.
tx-pause sends pause packets to the partner link, when
needed.
rx-pause honors the partner link's pause packets and stops
transmitting, when asked.
tx-rx sends pause packets and honors the partner link's pause
packets.
none does not send pause packets and does not honor the
partner link's pause packets. Note: Use this setting for ERPS
ring ports.
Auto:
If the link is auto-negotiated, the pause attribute is negotiated
with the partner link.
If the link speed is forced to a set value, tx-rx is the default.
