Use this row to make the setting the same for all entries. Use this row first and then make
adjustments to each entry if necessary.
Note: Changes in this row are copied to all the entries as soon as you make them.
Active
Select this option to have the Switch detect if the configured rate limit for a specific control
packet is exceeded and take the action selected below.
Mode
Select the action that the Switch takes when the number of control packets exceed the rate
limit on a port, set in the Advanced Application > Errdisable > CPU protection screen.
•
inactive-port - The Switch disables the port on which the control packets are received.
•
inactive-reason - The Switch bypasses the processing of the specified control packets
(such as ARP or IGMP packets), or drops all the specified control packets (such as BPDU)
on the port.
•
rate-limitation - The Switch drops the additional control packets the port has to handle
in every one second.
Apply
Click Apply to save your changes to the Switch’s run-time memory. The Switch loses these
changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Save link on the top navigation panel to
save your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are done configuring.
Cancel
Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.
