Parameters
ratio: Sets the broadcast suppression threshold as a percentage of the interface bandwidth. The
value range for this argument is 0 to 100. A smaller value means that less broadcast traffic is allowed
to pass through.
pps max-pps: Specifies the maximum number of broadcast packets that the interface can forward
per second. The value range for the
max-pps argument (in pps) is 0 to 1.4881 × the interface
bandwidth.
kbps max-kbps: Specifies the maximum number of kilobits of broadcast traffic that the Ethernet
interface can forward per second. The value range for this argument (in kbps) is 0 to the interface
bandwidth.
Usage guidelines
The broadcast storm suppression features limits the size of broadcast traffic to a threshold on an
interface. When the broadcast traffic on the interface exceeds this threshold, the system drops
packets until the traffic drops below this threshold.
Both the
storm-constrain command and the broadcast-suppression command can
suppress broadcast storms on a port. The
broadcast-suppression command uses the chip to
physically suppress broadcast traffic. It has less influence on the device performance than the
storm-constrain command, which uses software to suppress broadcast traffic.
For the traffic suppression result to be determined, do not configure both the
storm-constrain
broadcast
command and the broadcast-suppression command on an interface.
When you configure the suppression threshold in kbps, the actual suppression threshold might be
different from the configured one as follows:
• If the configured value is smaller than 64, the value of 64 takes effect.
• If the configured value is greater than 64 but not an integer multiple of 64, the integer multiple of
64 that is greater than and closest to the configured value takes effect.
For the suppression threshold that takes effect, see the prompt on the device.
Examples
# Set the broadcast suppression threshold to 10000 kbps on GigabitEthernet 1/0/1.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1
[Sysname-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] broadcast-suppression kbps 10000
The actual value is 10048 on port GigabitEthernet1/0/1 currently.
The output shows that the value that takes effect is 10048 kbps (157 times of 64), because the chip
only supports step 64.
