Configuring the Maximum Broadcast Frame Count
To specify the maximum number of broadcast frames a port on the
switch can receive and forward, perform the following procedure:
1. From the Main Menu, type 1 to select Port Menu.
2. From the Port Menu, type 1 to select Port Configuration.
The following prompt is displayed:
Starting Port to Configure [1 to 24] ->
3. Enter the number of the port you want to configure and press Return.
To configure a range of ports, enter the first port of the range.
The following prompt is displayed:
Ending Port to Configure [1 to 24] ->
4. To configure only one port, enter the same port number here as you
entered in Step 3 and press Return. To configure a range of ports,
enter the last port number in the range.
The Port Configuration window in Figure 13 on page 58 is
displayed.
5. Type B to select Broadcast Control.
The following prompt is displayed:
Enter Max. Broadcasts (0 -> No limit) : [0 to 1023] - >
Specify the maximum number of broadcast frames the port can
receive during the timer interval.
For example, assume that you are specifying the maximum
broadcast frame count for a port operating at 100 Mbps, and you
specified a 10 millisecond interval timer for 100 Mbps ports. If you
entered a value of 200 at the prompt, the switch will allow a
maximum of 200 broadcast frames on the port every 10
milliseconds. If more than 200 broadcast frames are received
during the time interval, all broadcast frames over 200 are
discarded by the switch and are not forwarded.
6. Type S to select Save Configuration Changes.
Your changes are immediately activated on the switch.
