Setting Broadcast Storm Control

The Switch 2000 TR automatically creates an alarm on each of its ports for monitoring broadcast levels if an alarm is set. This field allows you to set broadcast threshold levels on each port. You can also set the threshold action per port. Thresholds are calculated using a moving 20 second window.

Rising Threshold%

The Rising threshold percentage setting determines the amount of broadcast traffic that will be allowed before an alarm is sent. The default setting is 60%.

Port Configuration

4-9

Falling Threshold%

The Falling threshold percentage setting determines the level at which the broadcast threshold will be reset. This setting prevents the rising threshold events from being triggered continuously. Events are only enabled after the Falling Threshold is met. The default setting is 50%.

1Set the threshold fields by entering a number between 0 and 99.

2Press [Return].

Falling Action

Use this field to set the action for the falling thresh- old. Choices:
