Configuring basic system parameters

To enable multicast limiting, enter commands such as the following.
PowerConnect(config)# interface ethernet 8
PowerConnect(config-mif-e10000-1-8)# multicast limit 9000 kbps
Multicast limit in kbits/sec set to 8064
To enable unknown unicast limiting, enter commands such as the following.
PowerConnect(config)# int e 13
PowerConnect(config-if-e10000-13)# unknown-unicast limit 65536 kbps
Unknown unicast limit in kbits/sec set to 64000
Syntax: [no] broadcast limit num kbps
Syntax: [no] multicast limit num kbps
Syntax: [no] unknown-unicast limit num kbps
The num variable can be any number between 1 and 10000000. The actual value will be
determined by the system. Once you enter the value, the CLI will display a message indicating the
actual value, as shown in the configuration examples above. If you specify 0, limiting is disabled.
Limiting is disabled by default.
Viewing broadcast, multicast, and unknown unicast limits
You can use the show run interface command to display the broadcast, multicast, and
unknown-unicast limits configured on the device.
In addition to the show run interface command, to display the broadcast, multicast, and
unknown-unicast limits configured on the device:
• show rate-limit unknown-unicast
• show rate-limit broadcast
Use the show run interface command to view the broadcast, multicast, and unknown-unicast limit
configured on each port.
