Configuring the Cajun P550 Switch (Layer 2 & Layer 3)
Table
Parameter | Definition |
|
|
Rate Limit Mode | Prevents the switch from overwhelming the output buffer on |
| |
| port traffic that can be flooded packets (unknown unicasts and |
| multicasts). You can optionally include known multicast packets |
| in this percentage to further decrease the possibility of the port’s |
| output buffer being overwhelmed. |
|
|
Rate Limit Rate | Determines the percentage of a port’s forwarded traffic that can |
| be unknown unicast and multicast (flooded). Lower this value if |
| the port has overflow problems. |
|
|
Rate Limit Burst Size | Determines the limit of packets allowed in a single burst. |
| Accepted values are 1 to 2048. For Fast Ethernet ports, set this |
| value lower than 1024 (output buffer capacity). Lower this |
| value if the port has overflow problems. |
|
|
Port PACE Priority | Determines if the port detects 3Com’s proprietary PACE format |
| as packets pass through the port. PACE allows a packet’s priority |
| (higher priority packets move through the switch before lower |
| priority packets) to be set at the adapter. |

The All Ports Configuration dialog box allows you to apply the same parameter settings to all switch ports for P220 switches and in a module for the P550 using a single command.
To set all ports in a module:
1.In the System Configuration section of the Web Agent window, select Modules & Ports. The Module Information dialog box opens.
2.In the Ports column, click the number for the module you want to configure (for example, 10 for
3.Click All Module Switch Ports Configuration. The All Ports Configuration dialog box opens.
4.Set port parameters as described beginning in “Configuring Physical Port Parameters on Gigabit Ports” and/or “Configuring Physical Port Parameters on Fast Ethernet Ports”, earlier in this chapter.
5.Click APPLY to save your changes, or CANCEL to restore previous settings.
