For example, to configure a broadcast limit of 20% for all ports on the switch:
Figure 10-5. Example of Configuring a Global Broadcast Limit
To display the current broadcast limit setting, use either show config or show
running:
Figure 10-6. Example of Displaying a Broadcast-Limit Setting
Using show running displays a similar output for the running-config file. Refer
to the Note on page 10-12.
Configuring Auto-MDIX
Copper ports on the switch can automatically detect the type of cable config-
uration (MDI or MDI-X) on a connected device and adjust to operate appro-
priately.
Syntax: broadcast-limit < 0 . . 99 >
Configures the theoretical maximum bandwidth percentage that
can be used on the switch ports for incoming broadcasts. The
switch drops any broadcast or multicast traffic exceeding that
limit. Zero (0) disables the feature.
ProCurve(config)# int 5-6 broadcast-limit 20
Command will take effect after saving configuration and reboot
ProCurve(config)# write memory
ProCurve(config)# boot
Displays the startup-config
file. The broadcast limit
setting appears here if
configured and saved to
the startup-config file by a
write memory command.
You must reboot the switch
to implement the new
setting.
