Syntax

switchport broadcast packet-rate rate

no switchport broadcast

rate – The threshold level in packets per second. (Range: 16, 64, 128, 256)

Default Setting

Command Usage

When broadcast traffic exceeds the specified threshold, packets above that threshold are dropped.

This command can enable or disable broadcast storm control for the selected interface. However, the specified threshold value applies to the entire switch.

Down-link ports SNP0-15 are fixed with broadcast storm control enabled.

Example

The following shows how to configure broadcast suppression at 64 packets per second:

Console(config)#interface ethernet SNP5 Console(config-if)#switchport broadcast packet-rate 64

Console(config-if)#

Note – The switchport broadcast command enables broadcast storm control on the specified interface, but it sets the broadcast threshold for every interface on the switch.
