undo broadcast-limit link

Parameter number: Maximum number of links that can send multicast or broadcast packets in a VT. This argument ranges from 0 to 128 and defaults to 30. The value 0 indicates that multicast packets or broadcast packets cannot be sent.

Description Use the broadcast-limit link command to set the maximum number of links that can send multicast or broadcast packets in a VT. Use the undo broadcast-limit link command to restore the default setting.

When a VT has plenty of links, the system performance will be decreased if all the links send multicast or broadcast packets. In this case, you can use the broadcast-limit link command to limit the maximum number of links that can send multicast packets or broadcast packets.

Example # Set the maximum number of links that can send multicast or broadcast packets in VT 1 to 100.
