Performance Monitoring Monitoring Broadcast Traffic
27.2 MONITORING BROADCAST TRAFFIC
The RS allows you to monitor broadcast traffic for one or more ports, and for the control module. You can specify that
a port be shut down if its broadcast traffic reaches a certain rate limit for a particular period of time. Additionally, you
can configure the RS to shut down for a specified period, if the packets sent to the control module reach a certain limit
during a specified time interval. Packets to be monitored can be limited to broadcast packets only or all packets.
To specify the monitoring of broadcast traffic and the shut down threshold for one or more ports, enter the following
command in Configure mode:
