LABEL

DESCRIPTION

Reason

Select the type of control packet you want to configure here.

 

 

Port

This field displays the port number.

 

 

*

Use this row to make the setting the same for all ports. Use this row first

 

and then make adjustments to each port if necessary.

 

Note: Changes in this row are copied to all the ports as soon as you

 

make them.

 

 

Rate Limit

Enter a number from 0 to 256 to specify how many control packets this

(pkt/s)

port can receive or transmit per second.

 

0 means no rate limit.

 

You can configure the action that the Switch takes when the limit is

 

exceeded. See Section 32.5 on page 311 for detailed information.

 

 

Apply

Click Apply to save your changes to the Switch’s run-time memory. The

 

Switch loses these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the

 

Save link on the top navigation panel to save your changes to the non-

 

volatile memory when you are done configuring.

 

 

Cancel

Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.
