Setting Ethernet Parameters for All Port Types Configuring Ethernet Ports
page 1-12 OmniSwitch 6800/6850/9000 Network Configuration Guide June 2006
By default the following peak flood rate values are used for limiting the rate at which traffic is flooded on
a switch port:
To change the peak flood rate for an entire slot, enter interfaces followed by the slot number, flood rate,
and the flood rate in megabits. For example, to configure the peak flood rate on slot 2 as 49 megabits,
enter:
-> interfaces 2 flood rate 49
To change the peak flood rate for a single port, enter interfaces followed by the slot number, a slash (/),
the port number, flood rate, and the flood rate in megabits. For example, to configure the peak flood rate
on port 3 on slot 2 as 49 megabits, enter:
-> interfaces 2/3 flood rate 49
To change the peak flood rate for a range of ports, enter interfaces followed by the slot number, a slash (/
), the first port number, a hyphen (-), the last port number, flood rate, and the flood rate in megabits. For
example, to configure the peak flood rate on ports 1 through 3 on slot 2 as 49 megabits, enter:
-> interfaces 2/1-3 flood rate 42
As an option, you can document the interface type by entering ethernet, fastethernet, or gigaethernet
before the slot number. For example, to configure the peak flood rate on port 22 on slot 2 as 49 megabits
and document the port as Gigabit Ethernet, enter:
-> interfaces gigaethernet 2/22 flood rate 49
To specify the type of traffic elligible for rate limiting, see “Flood Only Rate Limiting” on page 1-10 and
“Multicast Flood Rate Limiting” on page 1-11 for more information.
Configuring a Port Alias
The interfaces alias command is used to configure an alias (i.e., description) for a single port. (You
cannot configure an entire switch or a range of ports.) To use this command, enter interfaces followed by
the slot number, a slash (/), the port number, alias, and the text description, which can be up to 40 charac-
ters long.
For example, to configure an alias of “ip_phone1” for port 3 on slot 2 enter:
-> interfaces 2/3 alias ip_phone1
Note. Spaces must be contained within quotes (e.g., “IP Phone 1”).
