KB.15.15

Determining the switch port number used in ICMP port reset commands

To enable excess ICMP traffic notification traps and Event Log messages, use the setmib command

described on (page 190). The port number included in the command corresponds to the internal

number the switch maintains for the designated port and not the port's external (slot/number)

identity.

To match the port's external slot/number to the internal port number, use the walkmib ifDescr

command, as shown in the following figure:

Configuring a broadcast limit on the switch

Broadcast limit on switches is configured on a per-port basis. You must be at the port context level

for this command to work, for example:

HP Switch(config) # int B1

HP Switch(int B1) # broadcast-limit 1

Syntax

broadcast-limit [0-99]

Enables or disables broadcast limiting for outbound broadcasts on a selected port on the switch.

The value selected is the percentage of traffic allowed, for example, broadcast-limit 5 allows

5% of the maximum amount of traffic for that port. A value of zero disables broadcast limiting for

that port.

NOTE: You must switch to port context level before issuing the broadcast-limit command.

This feature is not appropriate for networks requiring high levels of IPX or RIP broadcast traffic.
