Flood-limit

Switching
1

Hi, I have configured flood-limit on port 1/1/1 244 pps ALU-SWITCH# show interfaces port 1/1/1 flood-rate Chas/ Slot/ Bcast Bcast Bcast Ucast Ucast Ucast Mcast Mcast Mcast Port Value Type Status Value Type Status Value Type Status --------+---------+----+-------+---------+----+-------+---------+----+-------- 1/1/1 244 pps enable 244 pps enable 244 pps enable

how to check the status of port if its reaches the required limit? the action was shutdown if the threshold was reached.

this is the status of port 1/1/1

ALU-SWITCH# show interfaces port 1/1/1 Chassis/Slot/Port 1/1/1 : Operational Status : up, Last Time Link Changed : Wed Dec 18 23:53:05 1996, Number of Status Change: 3, Type : Ethernet, SFP/XFP : N/A, EPP : Disabled, Link-Quality : N/A, MAC address : 2c:fa:a2:1e:ab:88, BandWidth (Megabits) : 1000, Duplex : Full, Autonegotiation : 1 [ 1000-F 100-F 100-H 10-F 10-H ], Long Frame Size(Bytes) : 9216, Inter Frame Gap(Bytes) : 12, Rx : Bytes Received : 1172435, Unicast Frames : 9510, Broadcast Frames: 3594, M-cast Frames : 764, UnderSize Frames: 0, OverSize Frames: 0, Lost Frames : 0, Error Frames : 0, CRC Error Frames: 0, Alignments Err : 0, Tx : Bytes Xmitted : 1490718, Unicast Frames : 4798, Broadcast Frames: 420, M-cast Frames : 11651, UnderSize Frames: 0, OverSize Frames: 0, Lost Frames : 0, Collided Frames: 0, Error Frames : 0

Hi

It seems you have configured flood-limit for unknow-unicast, broadcast, multicast with 244 packets per second.

If you receive more than 244 packets on the switch port (which should be either broadcast traffic with All FF's MAC address or multicast traffic with Multicast MAC address or the traffic with unknown MAC addresses) in a second on the port 1/1/1 then only the switch will shutdown the port.

Do you enable auto recovery for the port such as - if traffic got reduced than the configured limit the port can brought back to the operational by the switch itself?

You can check the statistics of the port "show interfaces port 1/1/1 statistics",please verify command based on the model and validate your test.
