Example

This example shows how to set flow limiting

action 1 to discard all flows exceeding 12 on ports

classified as user ports:

discard | drop |
trap | disable

Specifies the action to be taken if flow limit is reached as:

Discarding excess flows. This causes a “discard flow” to
be created. Packets are accepted to this flow but are
discarded (not forwarded anywhere). This allows the
flow counters to be updated (and possibly reach a second
higher threshold action (for example: trap or disable, as
described below).

Dropping excess flows. The E1 does not support this
option. If set, the E1 will behave the same as setting the
attribute to “discard” and discard flows will be created.

Generating an SNMP trap notification (if the set
flowlimit notification
function is enabled as described
in

Section 14.3.9.7

).

Disabling the interface (if the set flowlimit shutdown
function is enabled as described in

Section 14.3.9.6

).

This will clear all FST settings on the port.
