Configuring Filtering
If the performance of your network is affected by heavy traffic, you can
use this parameter to limit the number of unknown unicast, unknown
multicast, or broadcast packets a port receives. When you activate this
feature on a port, the port discards all ingress packets of the type you
specify. The default setting for each type of packet filter is disabled.
When you enable this feature, the port does not accept any ingress
packets of the type you specify.
To set up filtering, perform the following procedure:
