The MultiSwitch 700 Device View

NOTE

Since the MultiSwitch 700 module has two transmit queues, a priority of Normal will cause packets to be forwarded through the lower priority queue, and any priority of 1 through 7 will cause the packets to be forwarded through the higher

priority queue.

4.Click Apply. The Frame Type Entries list box will be updated with the newly created entry.

You can edit an existing frame Type entry by changing its previously assigned priority.

1.Highlight the desired entry in the Current Priority Entries list box, and click on the Edit button. The Priorities drop-down list box will be activated (the Frame Type cannot be edited once it is initially configured).

2.Click on the Priority drop-down list box, and select the desired priority level (Normal–7) for forwarding packets received with the specified frame Type information.

3.Click Apply. The Frame Type Priorities Entries list box will be updated with the newly edited entry.

To clear a priority entry from the ctPriorityExtPktTypeTable:

1.Highlight the desired entry in the Frame Type Priorities Entries list box, and click Delete. The entry fields will be cleared from the table.

Broadcast Suppression

From the Broadcast Statistics and Suppression window, you can monitor broadcast peak statistics, and suppress the amount of broadcast frames received on each interface on your MultiSwitch 700 module (thereby protecting your network from broadcast storms). Specifically, you can monitor the number of frames each interface is receiving, and set limits on how many of those broadcast frames will be forwarded to the other interfaces. Once a threshold has been reached on an interface, broadcast frames will be dropped. From the Broadcast Statistics and Suppression window, you can set a unique threshold for each interface on a frames per second basis.

To access the Broadcast Statistics and Suppression window:

1.Click on the module index of the module of interest to display the Module menu.

2.Select Broadcast Suppression. The Broadcast Statistics and Suppression window, Figure 2-24, opens.
