5.17 BROADCAST SUPPRESSION SCREEN
The Broadcast Suppression screen, Figure 5-24, allows the user to set a
desired limit of receive broadcast frames that are switched out to the other
ports.
NOTE
To redirect more than one port, repeat steps 1 through 6 for
each additional setting, then go to step 7 to save all the new
settings at once.
NOTE
The Broadcast Suppression screen is not available if the
operational mode of the device is set to SECURE FAST VLAN.
This screen may only be used when the device is configured to
operate as an 802.1D or 802.1Q switch.
Broadcast frames received above the threshold setting are
dropped.
