Configuring a Broadcast Limit on the Switch 
Broadcast-Limit on switches covered in this guide is configured on a per-port 
basis. You must be at the port context level for this command to work, for 
example: 
ProCurve(config)#int B1
ProCurve(int B1)# broadcast-limit 1 
Broadcast-Limit.  
Syntax: 
broadcast-limit <0-99> 
Enables or disables broadcast limiting for outbound  
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.
