Falling Action

none / event / enable / event +

enable

Use this field to specify the action for the

alarm to take when it reaches the falling threshold:

■

none

— no action takes place

■

event

— an SNMP trap is generated

■

enable

— the port is enabled

■

event + enable

— the port is enabled and an

SNMP trap is generated

If

user defined

appears as an option in the

Falling

Action

field, an unrecognized action has been speci-

fied using a MIB browser. You cannot select this
option.

You should be aware of the following points when
using Broadcast Storm Control:

■

The Switch takes 5–7 seconds to recognize that a
broadcast storm is occurring.

■

Broadcast Storm Control calculates the average
broadcast bandwidth over the previous
20-second interval. The average is based on four
samples taken at 5-second intervals.

■

When the average value exceeds the rising
threshold value, the rising action is triggered.
The action is not triggered again until the aver-
age broadcast bandwidth falls below the falling
threshold level.

RENEGOTIATE

If the port is auto-negotiating, this

button allows you to restart the auto-negotiation
process for the port. Auto-negotiation normally
occurs when a link state changes. If the port at the
remote end of an auto-negotiated link changes con-
figuration, you can use the RENEGOTIATE button to
start the auto-negotiation without having to
change the link state.
