LABEL DESCRIPTION
Active Select this check box to enable traffic storm control on the Switch. Clear this check box to
disable this feature.
Errdisable Select this option to turn on error disable for traffic storm control on the Switch. The Switch
shuts down a port when the maximum number of allowable broadcast, multicast and/or
DLF packets is reached on the port.
Click the Errdisable link to go to the Errdisable Recovery screen where you can set the
port to become active automatically after a specified time interval.
Port This field displays a port number.
* Settings in this row apply to all ports.
Use this row only if you want to make some settings the same for all ports. Use this row
first to set the common settings and then make adjustments on a port-by-port basis.
Note: Changes in this row are copied to all the ports as soon as you make them.
Broadcast (pkt/
s) Select this option and specify how many broadcast packets the port receives per second.
Multicast (pkt/s) Select this option and specify how many multicast packets the port receives per second.
DLF (pkt/s) Select this option and specify how many destination lookup failure (DLF) packets the port
receives per second.
Shutdown Select this option to allow the Switch to shut down the port when the specified number of
allowable broadcast, multicast and/or DLF packets is reached.
Apply Click Apply to save your changes to the Switch’s run-time memory. The Switch loses these
changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Save link on the top navigation panel
to save your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are done configuring.
Cancel Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.
