Configuring Filtering
If the performance of your network is affected by heavy traffic, you can use
this parameter to limit the number of unknown unicast ingress and egress
packets, unknown multicast ingress and egress packets, or broadcast
ingress and egress packets a port receives. When you activate this
feature on a port, the port discards all ingress or egress packets of the
type you specify. The default setting for each type of packet filter is
disabled.
To set up filtering, perform the following procedure:
1. From the Main Menu, type 1 to select Port Configuration.
The Port Configuration menu is shown in Figure 25 on page 102.
