76 CHAPTER 3: PORT OPERATION
Only when the three ports are configured with identical basic configuration, rate and
duplex mode, can they be added into a same dynamic aggregation group after LACP
is enabled on them, for load sharing.
Global Broadcast
Suppression Feature
This section describes how to configure the Global Broadcast Suppression feature.
Configuring Global
Broadcast Suppression
You can use the following command to globally configure the size of the broadcast
traffic allowed to pass through each Ethernet port. Once the broadcast traffic exceeds
the threshold you configured, the system discards some broadcast packets to
decrease the ratio of the broadcast traffic into a reasonable range. This suppresses
broadcast storms and avoids network congestion to guarantee the normal operation
of network services.
The broadcast suppression configured globally with the broadcast-suppression
command will take effect on all the Ethernet ports in a stack system.

Configuration Example
Network requirements
Configure the global broadcast suppression ratio to 20. That is, allow 20% network
bandwidth to be occupied by broadcast traffic.
Configuration procedure
1 Enter system view.
<S5500> system-view
2 Configure the ratio of global broadcast suppression to 20.
[S5500] broadcast-suppression 20
3 Display the configuration result.

By default, the system allows the
broadcast traffic to occupy 100%
network bandwidth. That is, it does
not limit broadcast traffic.
