Parameter
Description
Valid Options
Broadcast Max Rate
Select whether to disable this parameter (off), or enter a value to
specify the maximum rate for broadcast traffic (packets/second).
This is an ingress rate limiter.
off, 0-16383999
Use "k" and "m" to multiply the
rate.
Unknown Mcast Max
Rate
Select whether to disable this parameter (off), or enter a value to
limit the rate for unknown multicast traffic (packets/seconds). Use
"k" and "m" to multiply rate.
off ‡
Enter Value = 0–16,383,999
DLF Max Rate
Select whether to disable this parameter (off), or enter a value for
the maximum ingress rate for unknown unicast or destination
lookup failure (DLF) traffic (packets/seconds). Use "k" and "m" to
multiply rate. DLF applies to unicast packets where the bridges
lookup the destination MAC address in their learning tables and
cannot find it (a lookup miss) thus floods the packet to the
broadcast domain until the packet hits a bridge that knows
(learned) the destination MAC address or the packet is received by
the destination device.
off ‡
Enter Value = 0–16,383,999
LACP Priority
Priority value to use for determining which port to activate in a
LAG. The lower value takes priority.
For example, in a cross-card protection LAG, set the ports on the
active card to a common LACP priority value, and then set the
LAG ports on the standby card to another common priority value.
The priority value on the active card ports must be lower than the
value set for the ports on the standby card.
0-65535
32768 ‡
LACP Timeout
The length of timeout for LACP.
Note:
Avoid the use of LACP long timeouts, unless there is a very
specific need.
short ‡
long
Duplex
Duplex mode for the port.
Half-duplex
uses Carrier Sense Multiple Access (CSMA) to
detect collisions and recover from them.
Full-duplex
transmits and receives at the same time.
Note:
Use this setting for ERPS ring ports.
Auto
:
If the link is auto-negotiated, the duplex attribute is negotiated
with the link partner.
If the link speed is forced to a set value, full duplex is the
default.
half, full, auto‡ (auto-negotiate
duplex value with the link
partner)
Flow control
Applies back pressure to a transmitter that is outrunning the
receiver's capacity to process incoming data.
tx-pause
sends pause packets to the partner link, when
needed.
rx-pause
honors the partner link's pause packets and stops
transmitting, when asked.
tx-rx
sends pause packets and honors the partner link's pause
packets.
none
does not send pause packets and does not honor the
partner link's pause packets.
Note:
Use this setting for ERPS
ring ports.
Auto
:
If the link is auto-negotiated, the pause attribute is negotiated
with the partner link.
If the link speed is forced to a set value, tx-rx is the default.
