multicast-suppression
multicast-suppression { ratio | kbps max-kbps }
undo multicast-suppression
View
Ethernet interface view, port group view
Default level
2: System level
Parameters
ratio: Sets the multicast suppression threshold as a percentage of the maximum interface rate, ranging from 1 to 100. The smaller the percentage, the less multicast traffic is allowed to pass through.
kbps max-kbps: Specifies the maximum number of kilobits of multicast traffic that the Ethernet interface can forward per second.
For 100-Mbps ports, the max-kbps argument ranges from 1 to 100,000 kbps.
For 1000-Mbps ports, the max-kbps argument ranges from 1 to 1,000,000 kbps.
Description
Use multicast-suppression to set the multicast suppression threshold on one or multiple Ethernet interfaces.
Use undo multicast-suppression to restore the default.
By default, Ethernet interfaces do not suppress multicast traffic.
If you execute this command in Ethernet interface view, the configurations take effect only on the interface. If you execute this command in port group view, the configurations take effect on all ports in the port group.
When multicast traffic exceeds the threshold you configure, the system discards multicast packets until the multicast traffic drops below the threshold.
When you configure the suppression threshold in kbps, the actual suppression threshold might be different from the configured one as follows:
If the configured value is smaller than 64, the value of 64 takes effect.
If the configured value is greater than 64 but not a multiple of 64, the multiple of 64 that is greater than and closest to the configured value takes effect.
![[NOTE: ]](images/note.png) | NOTE: If you set different multicast suppression thresholds in Ethernet interface view or port group view multiple times, the one configured last takes effect. For a particular type of traffic, configure either storm suppression or storm control, but not both. If both of them are configured, you may fail to achieve the expected storm control effect. | |
