Configuring the GbE Interconnect Switch Using the Web-Based Management Interface

Configuring the Threshold of Broadcast

When you select Threshold of Broadcast from the Configuration menu, the following screen is displayed.

The GbE Interconnect Switch allows you to set the threshold for three types of storms: broadcast, multicast, and one where the destination address is unknown. The higher the threshold, the more packets the GbE Interconnect Switch can accept per second. If the threshold is exceeded, any additional packets received are dropped. Entering a low value means packets have a greater chance to exceed the threshold and be dropped from the GbE Interconnect Switch.

To set a threshold:

1.Select Enabled for the appropriate option.

2.Type a threshold value in the Threshold(Pkts/sec) field.

3.Click Apply to save the changes.

NOTE: To save the configuration settings permanently, you must enter them into NVRAM using the Save Changes option on the Maintenance menu. Refer to the section, “Saving Changes,” earlier in this chapter.
