Protect Mode

 

control for all ports on the switch.

Protect Status

Enabled

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.

Threshold

500

The packet-per-second threshold at which

 

 

broadcast control will be employed on the port.
