Example
This example shows how to set flow limiting
 action 1 to discard all flows exceeding 12 on ports 
classified as user ports:
discard | drop | 
trap | disable
Specifies the action to be taken if flow limit is reached as:
• Discarding excess flows. This causes a “discard flow” to 
be created. Packets are accepted to this flow but are 
discarded (not forwarded anywhere). This allows the 
flow counters to be updated (and possibly reach a second 
higher threshold action (for example: trap or disable, as 
described below).
• Dropping excess flows. The E1 does not support this 
option. If set, the E1 will behave the same as setting the 
attribute to “discard” and discard flows will be created.
• Generating an SNMP trap notification (if the set 
flowlimit notification function is enabled as described 
in Section 14.3.9.7).
• Disabling the interface (if the set flowlimit shutdown 
function is enabled as described in Section 14.3.9.6). 
This will clear all FST settings on the port.
