Viewing Port Status and Configuring Port Parameters

For example, to configure a broadcast limit of 20% for all ports on the switch:

Figure 10-7. Example of Configuring a Global Broadcast Limit

To display the current broadcast limit setting, use either show config or show running:

Displays the startup-config file. The broadcast limit setting appears here if configured and saved to the startup-config file by a write memory command. In the Switch 2600 and 4100GL Series devices and the Switch 6108, you must reboot the switch to implement the new setting.

Using show running displays a similar output for the running-config file. Refer to the Note on page 10-11.

Broadcast Limit on the Series 2800 Switches. On the Series 2800 Switches, this command operates at the port context level to configure an individual instance of the broadcast limit for the ports included in a given context. The switch implements the new broadcast limit immediately in the running-config file. (Rebooting is not necessary.) Use write-memoryto save the configuration to the startup-config file.

Syntax: interface < port-list > broadcast-limit < 0 - 99 >

Configures the theoretical maximum bandwidth percentage that can be used on the specified switch port(s) for broadcasts and multicasts. The switch drops any broadcast or multicast traffic exceeding that limit. Zero (0) disables the feature on the specified port(s).
