5. Enabling subinterface rate statistics collection on an Ethernet interface
After you enable subinterface rate statistics collection on an Ethernet interface, the LB module
periodically refreshes the rate statistics on the subinterfaces of this Ethernet interface. You can use the
display interface command to view the rate statistics.
Follow these steps to enable subinterface rate statistics collection on an Ethernet subinterface:

NOTE:
Use this function with caution, because it may consume a large amount of system resources.

1. Configuring storm suppression
You can use the storm suppression function to limit the size of a particular type of traffic (broadcast,
multicast, and unknown unicast traffic) on an Ethernet interface or subinterface.
When the broadcast, multicast, or unknown unicast traffic on the interface exceeds this threshold, the
system discards packets until the traffic drops below this threshold.
Follow these steps to set storm suppression thresholds on an Ethernet interface or subinterface:
To do… Use the command… Remarks
Enter system view system-view

subinterface view
Enter Ethernet interface view
