To display the current broadcast limit setting, use either show config or show
running:
Displays the startup-config
file. The broadcast limit
setting appears here if
configured and saved to
the startup-config file by a
write memory command.
In the Switch 2600 and
4100GL Series devices and
the Switch 6108, you must
reboot the switch to
implement the new setting.

Using show running displays a similar output for the running-config file. Refer
to the Note on page 10-11.
Broadcast Limit on the Series 2800 Switches. On the Series 2800
Switches, this command operates at the port context level to configure an
individual instance of the broadcast limit for the ports included in a given
context. The switch implements the new broadcast limit immediately in the
running-config file. (Rebooting is not necessary.) Use write-memory to save the
configuration to the startup-config file.
Syntax: interface < port-list > broadcast-limit < 0 - 99 >
Configures the theoretical maximum bandwidth percentage that
can be used on the specified switch port(s) for broadcasts and
multicasts. The switch drops any broadcast or multicast traffic
exceeding that limit. Zero (0) disables the feature on the
specified port(s).
