Port Status and Configuration Viewing Port Status and Configuring Port Parameters ProCurve(config)#int B1 ProCurve(int B1)# broadcast-limit 1 Broadcast-Limit. Syntax: broadcast-limit Enables or disables broadcast limiting for inbound broadcasts on a selected port on the switch. The value selected is the percentage of traffic allowed, for example, broadcast-limit 5 allows 5% of the maximum amount of traffic for that port. A value of zero disables broadcast limiting for that port. Note: You must switch to port context level before issuing the broadcast-limit command. Note: This feature is not appropriate for networks requiring high levels of IPX or RIP broadcast traffic. Syntax: show config Displays the startup-config file. The broadcast limit setting appears here if enabled and saved to the startup-config file. Syntax: show running-config Displays the running-config file. The broadcast limit setting appears here if enabled. If the setting is not also saved to the startup-config file, rebooting the switch returns broadcast limit to the setting currently in the startup-config file. For example, the following command enables broadcast limiting of 1 percent of the traffic rate on the selected port on the switch: ProCurve(int B1)# broadcast-limit 1 For a one Gbps port this results in a broadcast traffic rate of ten Mbps. Configuring ProCurve Auto-MDIX Copper ports on the switch can automatically detect the type of cable configuration (MDI or MDI-X) on a connected device and adjust to operate appropriately. This means you can use a "straight-through" twisted-pair cable or a "crossover" twisted-pair cable for any of the connections-the port makes the necessary adjustments to accommodate either one for correct operation. The following port types on your switch support the IEEE 802.3ab standard, which includes the "Auto MDI/MDI-X" feature: ■ 10/100-TX xl module ports 10-19
