Specifying the maximum number of unknown unicast packets
1
ServerIronADX(config)# wsm wsm-map slot 3 wsm-slot 2 wsm-cpu 1
This command remaps processing for the forwarding module in slot 3 to BP 1 on the Application
Switching Module in slot 2.
Syntax: [no] wsm wsm-map <from-slotnum> wsm-slot <to-slotnum> wsm-cpu <cpunum>
The <from-slotnum> parameter specifies the slot that contains the forwarding module.
The <to-slotnum> parameter specifies the slot that contains the Application Switching Module.
The <cpunum> parameter specifies the BP on <to-slotnum> that will perform the processing. The
BPs are numbered from 1 – 3.
Specifying the maximum number of unknown unicast packets
You can specify the maximum number of unknown-unicast packets the device can forward each
second. By default the device sends unknown unicasts and all other traffic at wire speed and is
limited only by the capacities of the hardware. However, if other devices in the network cannot
handle unlimited unknown-unicast traffic, this command allows you to relieve those devices by
throttling the unknown unicasts at the Brocade device.
The unknown-unicast limit does not affect broadcast or multicast traffic. However, you can use the
broadcast limit and multicast limit commands to control these types of traffic.
To specify the maximum number of unknown-unicast packets the device can forward each second,
enter commands such as the following.
ServerIronADX(config)# interface e8
ServerIronADX(config-if-8)# unknown-unicast limit 30000
Syntax: [no] unknown-unicast limit <num>
