Alcatel Unleashed

Hey there

if you can help me please, I'm looking like a 6450 I do take an action if the limit set to broadcast (shutdown) is exceeded

I found these steps to run action but does not apply for 6450 as it could do

6450# interfaces 1/1 flood broadcast ?
^
DISABLE ENABLE RATE
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

https://dealers.nextel.nl/Portals/3/Tec ... _Notes.pdf

Platforms Supported:
OmniSwitch 6400, 6850, 6850E, 6855, 9000E
Commands:
1. Command to configure upper threshold and lower threshold for multicast and broadcast:

interfaces slot/port slot/port1-port2 | slot flood [broadcast | multicast| all] rate [mbpsnum | ppsnum| percentagenum] [low-threshold num]

2. Command to configure action for storm state:

interfaces [slot/port | slot/port1-port2 | slot] flood [broadcast | multicast] [action [shutdown| trap | default]]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At 6450 there is only limiting the BC traffic - no action like port shutdown. But in most cases it is enough to config rate limit for example 500pps.

Hey there

but there is no other possibility to configure a rate limit and fall if it reaches its limit ??

thanks and regards

What do you mean? I didn't understand.
With the limit you configure that only f.e. 500 BC pps can pass the port (incoming). All other packets will drop. So there will a BC storm not harm your network.

Thanks for answering

I have another question when I use a LACP, and I want to put a% dropee broadcast packets what I do in the logic of the LACP interface, or must do in each of the interfaces that make it up ??

Thanks and regards

in 6450 it does not allow me to select the id of the LACP.

in my knowledge: flood rate per port
Also if you would like to drop BC via a policy: you have only possibility a condition with destination port (not lacp). By default BC traffic in LACP will be sent over the primary port only.
