The bcmc-optimizationparameter has the following exemptions:

All DHCP traffic will continue to flood VLAN member ports even if the bcmc-optimizationparameter is enabled.

ARP broadcasts and VRRP (multicast) traffic will still be allowed.

You can configure BCMC optimization using the CLI or WebUI.

Using the CLI

(host) (config) #interface vlan 1

(host) (config-subif)#bcmc-optimization

(host) (config-subif)#show interface vlan 1

VLAN1 is up line protocol is up

Hardware is CPU Interface, Interface address is 00:0B:86:61:5B:98 (bia 00:0B:86:61:5B:98) Description: 802.1Q VLAN

Internet address is 10.17.22.1 255.255.255.0

Routing interface is enable, Forwarding mode is enable Directed broadcast is disabled, BCMC Optimization enable Encapsulation 802, loopback not set

MTU 1500 bytes

Last clearing of "show interface" counters 12 day 1 hr 4 min 12 sec link status last changed 12 day 1 hr 2 min 21 sec

Proxy Arp is disabled for the Interface

Using the WebUI

1.Navigate to Configuration > Network > IP.

2.In the IP Interfaces tab, click the Edit button of the VLAN for configuring BCMC optimization.

3.Select Enable BCMC check box to enable BCMC Optimization for the selected VLAN.

Configuring Ports

Both Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet ports can be set to access or trunk mode. By default, a port is in access mode and carries traffic only for the VLAN to which it is assigned. In trunk mode, a port can carry traffic for multiple VLANs.

For a trunk port, specify whether the port will carry traffic for all VLANs configured on the controller or for specific VLANs. You can also specify the native VLAN for the port. A trunk port uses 802.1q tags to mark frames for specific VLANs, However, frames on a native VLAN are not tagged.
