Enabling Broadcast Suppression
To enable broadcast suppression, perform this task:
When enabling broadcast suppression, you can specify the threshold in hundredths of a percent:
• Enter 0.00 to suppress all broadcasts.
• Enter 0.01 for 0.01% (1/100th percent).
• Enter 0.50 for 0.50% (one-half percent).
• Enter 1 or 1.00 for 1% (one percent).
The threshold range is 0.00–100.00.

Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# interface fastethernet 3/1
Router(config-if)# broadcast suppression 0.25
