QFX10002 and storm default behaviour

Network Engineering

I have a pair of QFX10002-36Q switches, and I want to disable or rate-limit multicast and broadcast traffic to a low value. When I try to configure a storm-control profile using set forwarding-options storm-control-profiles, I see that the only available action is shutdown. However, I do not want to shut down the portI just want to drop or discard the excess broadcast/multicast traffic.

Longest Prefix match with entries greater than my IP

Network Engineering

I am currently facing a problem and can't get a definitive answer to how the router will decide the correct interface to forward my packet to. Given that an IP datagram has destination address of 192.168.1.10 and my router has this two following entries: 192.168.1.0/24 192.168.1.16/27 In this case, which entry will be chosen here? I would think that the answer is 192.168.1.16/27 since it has the longest prefix that matches.

Can you multiplex 5+ ethernet lines such that one of those is selected mechanically or by detection of a signal on that line?

Network Engineering

Hi all I'm a relatively new electrical engineer who's been asked to take 5 Cat 5 data lines and feed them to a hub which selects one of them upon receiving data in that line to send to a computer. As it is now, they have to unplug the one they're currently using and plug in the one they want to use. They want a solution where the cables stay plugged in and one input is selected based upon receiving data on that input (or manual mechanical control).
