Output... What it displays...
Port Port designation. For a detailed description of possible port-string
values, refer to “Port String Syntax Used in the CLI” on page 4-2.
Total BC Packets Total broadcast packets received on this port.
Threshold (pkts/s) Current broadcast threshold in packets per second on this port.
Peak Rate (pkts/s) Peak rate of broadcast transmission received on this port in packets
per second.
Peak Rate Time (ddd:hh:mm:ss) Time (in day, hours, minutes and seconds) the peak rate was reached
on this port.
