ICMPv6 Rate Limit Configuration on ESW2-350G Switches

Objectives

This document explains how to configure the ICMPv6 rate limit interval and ICMPv6 rate limit bucket size on the ESW2-350G switch. The ICMPv6 rate limit determines the rate at which the IPv6 ICMP error messages are sent out on the network. This mechanism is implemented with a token bucket scheme which means it has the ability to send the error message in a group or at a time. Each error message on a switch is stored in a virtual bucket and the maximum number of tokens allowed in a bucket can be specified for each and every error message sent.

Applicable Devices

• ESW2-350G
• ESW2-350G-DC

Software Version

• v1.2.6.28

ICMPv6 Rate Limit Configuration

Step 1. Log in to the switch configuration utility and choose Administration > Management Interface > IPv6 Global Configuration. The IPv6 Global Configuration page opens:

Step 2. Enter the ICMPv6 rate limit interval value in the ICMPv6 Rate Limit Interval field.

Step 3. Enter the ICMPv6 rate limit bucket size in the ICMPv6 Rate Limit Bucket Size field. If the bucket size is 15, then 15 ICMPv6 error messages are sent across at a time.

Step 4. Click Apply.
