Chapter 5: Local Management

The Broadcast Suppression screen, 

, allows the user to set a 

desired limit of receive broadcast frames that are switched out to the other 
interfaces. This feature limits the amount of broadcast packets to the 
threshold setting (1 second) and drops all other broadcast packets until the 
1 second threshold elapses. This screen also provides statistics about the 
broadcast activity on ports 1 through 4.

To access the Broadcast Suppression screen from the Device Specific 
Configuration Menu screen, use the arrow keys to highlight the 
BROADCAST SUPPRESSION menu item and press ENTER. The 
Broadcast Suppression screen displays. 

The Broadcast Suppression screen will display only if the 
operational mode of the device has been set to 802.1D 
SWITCHING or 802.1Q SWITCHING. Refer to 

 for instructions on configuring 

the device to operate in this mode.
