Port Thresholds You can configure threshold limits for broadcast, unicast, and multicast traffic for
each active port on the Port Thresholds tab. This feature is available only with
Full firmware. The number of packets being sent is compared against the
threshold value. These limits help to prevent a single device from sending too
much traffic. For more information about this feature, see
Port Thresholds on
page 95 .
Table 35 - Port Threshold Tab Fields
Field Description
Port The port selected for configuration. The port number includes the port type (Fa for Fast Ethernet and Gi for Gigabit Ethernet),

Incoming Threshold Settings Enable incoming thresholds and set the threshold values for the unicast, multicast, and broadcast traffic for each port.
Valid values for units:
• Packets per second (pps)
• Percentage of total bandwidth (%)
• Bits per second (bps)
Outgoing Threshold Settings Enable outgoing thresholds and set the threshold values for the traffic for each port.
Units % = Percentage of total bandwidth
