Setting the MDI mode of an Ethernet interface
Optional.
Applicable to Layer 2 Ethernet interfaces.
Configuring storm suppression
You can use the storm suppression function to limit the size of a particular type of traffic (broadcast,
multicast, or unknown unicast traffic) on a per-interface basis. When the broadcast, multicast, or
unknown unicast traffic on the interface exceeds the specified maximum size, the system discards packets
until the traffic drops below the maximum size.
To set storm suppression thresholds for an Ethernet interface or subinterface:

Use either approach.
3. Set the broadcast
suppression threshold ratio.
broadcast-suppression ratio
Optional.
By default, broadcast traffic is
not suppressed.
4. Set the multicast
suppression threshold ratio.
multicast-suppression ratio
Optional.
By default, multicast traffic is not
suppressed.
