Port Conﬁguration

The Port Conﬁguration window allows you to conﬁgure each individual port for broadcast protection, ring speed (for token ring ports only), and local switching (for token ring and fast ethernet ports only). You may conﬁgure these attributes on an individual port basis through this window.

To access the Port Conﬁguration window:

1.Click on the appropriate Port button. A menu will appear.

2.Drag down to Port Conﬁguration and release. The Port Conﬁguration window, Figure 2-10,will be displayed.

Broadcast Protection

You can conﬁgure the number of broadcast/multicast packets that will be allowed through a port in a user-deﬁned time interval in the Port Conﬁguration window. Once this threshold is reached any multicast packets received will be discarded until the user-deﬁned time interval has ended.
