N o t e Broadcast limit (the Bcast Limit parameter) can be set for all ports in the
switch (or VLAN, if VLANs are configured) from the Automatic Broadcast
Control (ABC) screen (page 6-106 and following) if ABC is enabled. Setting
the broadcast limit in the web browser interface or the console Port Setting
screen is on a per-port basis and overrides any settings done in Automatic
Broadcast Control. Also, if broadcast limits are configured on a group of ports,
and those ports are later configured as a trunk, then the broadcast limit for
the trunk will be the highest limit that was previously configured on the
individual ports in the trunk.
For 100FX ports:
100HDx (default): 100 Mbps, Half-Duplex
100FDx: 100 Mbps, Full-Duplex
For 10 FL ports:
10HDx:(default): 10 Mbps, Half-Duplex
10FDx: 10 Mbps, Full-Duplex
Flow Control Maximizes circuit efficiency by enabling negotiation of packet parameters with the device to which the
port is connected.
Disabled (default): The port will not generate flow control packets and drops received flow control
packets.
Enabled: The port uses 802.3x Link Layer Flow Control, generates flow control packets and processes
received flow control packets.
Bcast Limit The theoretical maximum of network bandwidth percentage that can be used for broadcast and multicast
traffic. Any broadcast or multicast traffic exceeding that limit will be dropped. Zero (0) means the feature
is disabled.
