Configuring Interface-related Traffic Suppression

This chapter describes how to configure interface-related traffic suppression.

Applicable Environment

It is necessary to manage user traffic and allocate bandwidth to users on Ethernet networks; To ensure unicast traffic forwarding, unknown unicast, as well as multicast and broadcast traffic, must be suppressed and network bandwidth used rationally.

The volume of unicast traffic is greater than the volume of broadcast traffic on most networks. If you do not suppress the broadcast traffic, the traffic mounts and consumes a great amount of network bandwidth, which degrades network performance or even interrupts communications.

Pre-configuration Tasks

Before you configure interface-related traffic suppression, complete the following tasks:

  • Configure the physical parameters for all interfaces.

  • Keep the physical layer status of all interfaces Up.
