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:
Enter Ports List ->
3. Enter the port(s)that you want to configure and press Return.
The Port Configuration menu is shown in Figure 14 on page 69.
4. Type B to select Broadcast Control.
The following prompt is displayed:
Enter Max. Broadcasts (0 -> No limit) :
[0 to 1023] - >
5. Specify the maximum number of broadcast frames the port can
receive during the timer interval. Press Return.
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 transmit a
maximum of 200 broadcast frames on the port every 10
milliseconds. If more than 200 broadcast frames are transmitted
by the port during the time interval, all broadcast frames over 200
are discarded by the port and are not forwarded.
Entering a value of “0” displays Broadcast Storm Control on the
port.
6. Type S to select Save Configuration Changes.
Your changes are immediately activated on the switch.
