Broadcast Storm Control
Description
This feature allows you to filter out broadcasts from faulty devices and
prevent them from degrading network performance.
Select switch: Use the
z
to select the switch to configure.
Setting: Use the
z
to enable or disable broadcast storm control on
this port.
Upper Threshold: Accepts a value from 1-20%. The default value is
20%. This control lets you set the threshold of broadcast traffic on a port
(shown as a percentage of the port’s total bandwidth) that will activate
broadcast storm control. When the amount of broadcast traffic on the port
exceeds the upper threshold, the port drops all broadcast traffic. When
broadcast traffic falls down below the threshold the switch will
automatically start forwarding broadcast traffic again.
