The invalid traffic guard function is configured with the threshold rate (%) that is based on
pps of the maximum Ethernet port’s bandwidth.

To generate a SNMP trap of invalid traffic guard (attack/error), SNMP trap mode should
be “alarm-report” mode.
8.9.4.1 Attack Guard
A packet storm may unexpectedly occur if a large number of broadcast, unicast, or
multicast packets are received on a port. Forwarding these packets can cause the
network to slow down or to time out. The V5808 provides the attack guard function that
controls traffic for a specified port by threshold value. The threshold (%) rate of attack
guard is based on the number of packets per second (pps) that is calculated by 64-byte
frame size. If the number of incoming packets exceeds a given threshold, the system can
shut down the port or generate SNMP trap messages for warning when attack guard
function is enabled on this port. If the threshold (%) comes down to a given low threshold,
it generates traps. You can specify the packet type, a high threshold value and a low
threshold for a port.
To enable/disable the attack guard function, use the following command.
attack-guard {broadcast |
multicast | unicast} <0-100> <0-
100> [PORTS]
Enables the attack guard function according to its
packet type and sets the threshold.
PORTS: port number
0-100: high rate threshold percent (default: 80%)
0-100: low rate threshold percent (default: 20%)
no attack-guard {broadcast |
multicast | unicast} [PORTS]
Disable the attack guard function.
If the high threshold is set to 85% for 1G Ethernet port, the V5808 monitors the number of
configured packet type. The number of those packets exceeds 1,264,880 pps
(=14,880,95 * 0.85), the shutdown/trap action will be performed.
