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.
