Using the CLI To Configure a Broadcast Limit
The switches covered in this guide use per-port broadcast-limit settings. This
command operates at the port context level to configure an individual instance
of the broadcast limit for the ports included in a given context. The switch
implements the new broadcast limit immediately in the running-config file.
(Rebooting is not necessary.) Use write-memory to save the configuration to
the startup-config file.
Syntax: interface < port-list > broadcast-limit < 0 - 99 >
Configures the theoretical maximum bandwidth percentage that
can be used on the specified switch port(s) for broadcasts and
multicasts. The switch drops any broadcast or multicast traffic
exceeding that limit. Zero (0) disables the feature on the
specified port(s).
For example, to configure a broadcast limit of 45% on ports 1 - 10 in a switch
covered in this guide:
Configures a broadcast
limit of 45% on ports 5 - 7 in
the running configuration.
Displays the broadcast-
limit in the running-config
file.
