broadcast-suppression 
Syntax 
broadcast-suppression { ratio | pps max-pps | kbps max-kbps } 
undo broadcast-suppression 
View 
Ethernet interface view, port group view 
Default level 
2: System level 
Parameters 
ratio: Sets the broadcast suppression threshold as a percentage of the port transmission capability, in the 
range 1 to 100. The smaller the percentage, the less broadcast traffic is allowed to pass through.  
pps max-pps: Sets the broadcast suppression threshold in pps to limit the number of broadcast packets 
passing through the Ethernet port per second.  
•  For a Gigabit port, the value range is 1 to 1488100. 
•  For a 10-Gigabit port, the value range is 1 to 14881000.  
kbps max-bps: Sets the broadcast suppression threshold in kbps to limit the number of kilobits of 
broadcast traffic passing through the Ethernet port per second.  
•  For a Gigabit port, the value range is 1 to 1000000. 
•  For a 10-Gigabit port, the value range is 1 to 10000000.  
Description 
Use the broadcast-suppression command to set the broadcast suppression threshold on one or multiple 
Ethernet interfaces. 
Use the undo broadcast-suppression command to restore the default. 
By default, Ethernet interfaces do not suppress broadcast traffic. 
If you execute this command in Ethernet interface, the configuration takes effect only on the current 
interface. If you execute this command in port-group view, the configuration takes effect on all the ports 
in the port group. 
When broadcast traffic exceeds the broadcast suppression threshold, the interface discards broadcast 
packets until the broadcast traffic drops below the threshold.
