Chapter 29 Configuring Broadcast Suppression
Enabling Broadcast Suppression
Enabling Broadcast Suppression
To enable broadcast suppression, perform this task:
When enabling broadcast suppression, you can specify the threshold in hundredths of a percent:
Enter 0.00 to suppress all broadcasts.
Enter 0.01 for 0.01% (1/100th percent).
Enter 0.50 for 0.50% (one-half percent).
Enter 1 or 1.00 for 1% (one percent).
The threshold range is 0.00–100.00.
This example shows how to enable one-quarter-percent broadcast suppression on interface
FastEthernet 3/1 and verify the configuration:
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# interface fastethernet 3/1
Router(config-if)# broadcast suppression 0.25
Router(config-if)# end
Router# show running-config interface fastethernet 3/1 | include suppression
broadcast suppression 0.25
Router#
Command Purpose
Step 1 Router(config)# interface {{type1 slot/port} |
{port-channel number}}
1. type = ethernet, fastethernet, gigabitethernet, or tengigabitethernet
Selects an interface to configure.
Step 2 Router(config-if)# broadcast suppression
threshold
Enables broadcast suppression.
Router(config-if)# no broadcast suppression Disables broadcast suppression.
Step 3 Router(config-if)# end Exits configuration mode.
Step 4 Router# show running-config interface Verifies the configuration.
