z

After you configure auto-negotiation speed(s) for a port, if you execute the undo speed command

or the speed auto command, the auto-negotiation speed setting of the port restores to the default

setting.

z

The effect of executing speed auto 10 100 1000 equals to that of executing speed auto, that is,

the port is configured to support all the auto-negotiation speeds: 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000

Mbps.

Limiting Traffic on individual Ports

By performing the following configurations, you can limit the incoming broadcast/ unknown

multicast/unknown unicast traffic on individual ports. When a type of incoming traffic exceeds the

threshold you set, the system drops the packets exceeding the traffic limit to reduce the traffic ratio of

this type to the reasonable range, so as to keep normal network service.

Remarks

Enter system view

system-view

Limit broadcast traffic received on
each port

broadcast-suppression { ratio |
pps max-pps }

Optional

By default, the switch does not
suppress broadcast traffic.

Enter Ethernet port view

interface interface-type
interface-number

Limit broadcast traffic received on
the current port

broadcast-suppression { ratio |
bps max-bps | pps max-pps }

Optional

By default, the switch does not
suppress broadcast traffic.

Limit unknown multicast and
unknown unicast traffic received on
the current port

multicast-suppression bps
max-bps

Optional

The switch will suppress the
unknown multicast and unknown
unicast traffic simultaneously after
the configuration.

By default, the switch does not
suppress unknown multicast and
unknown unicast traffic.

Enabling Flow Control on a Port

Flow control is enabled on both the local and peer switches. If congestion occurs on the local switch:

z

The local switch sends a message to notify the peer switch of stopping sending packets to itself or

reducing the sending rate temporarily.

z

The peer switch will stop sending packets to the local switch or reduce the sending rate temporarily

when it receives the message; and vice versa. By this way, packet loss is avoided and the network

service operates normally.
