Usage Guidelines

The accumulating broadcast packets on the network occupy more and more network resources. This affects normal operation of services on the network.

After you run the broadcast-suppression command, the device limits the rate of broadcast packets based on the configured rate limit. If the rate limit is exceeded, the device discards excess broadcast packets.

Example

# Set the rate limit to 1000 kbit/s for broadcast packets in VLAN 10.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[HUAWEI] vlan 10
[HUAWEI-vlan10] broadcast-suppression 1000
