Parameter Description
Broadcast control on all ports Allows you to enable/disable broadcast storm control for all ports on the switch.
Select [Enable] and press <Enter> to enable broadcast control for all ports.
Select [Disable] and press <Enter> to disable broadcast control for all ports.
Threshold The packet-per-second threshold for broadcast packets on the port.
(Default is 500 pps.)
Broadcast Control Enables/disables broadcast control for the port. When enabled, the switch will
employ a broadcast-control mechanism if the packet-per-second threshold is
exceeded. This mechanism limits the amount of broadcasts passed by the port
to half of the received packet-per-second count. The control mechanism
remains in effect until the number of received broadcasts falls back below the
packet-per-second threshold. (Default is Enabled.)
