Broadcast suppression in Catalyst 4006 switches

How would we do a rate limiting for broadcast and multicast frames. Would that be advantageous to such a thing. I do know some protocols use multicast to send queries. Thanks.

Are you running a Supervisor-II or Supervisor-III engine in the Cat4006? If you are running the Sup-III, broadcast suppression(containment) is accomplished by setting up VLANs on the switch, adding switch ports to the VLANS, which become smaller, more manageabe broadcast domains.
