Related Commands

This command enables broadcast storm recovery mode. If the mode is enabled, broadcast storm recovery with high and low thresholds is implemented.

The threshold implementation follows a percentage pattern. If the broadcast traffic on any Ethernet port exceeds the high threshold percentage (as represented in Table 21) of the link speed, the switch discards the broadcast traffic until the traffic returns to the low threshold percentage or less. The full implementation is depicted in the table below.

Table 21 Broadcast Storm Recovery Thresholds

Link Speed	High	Low
10M	20	10
100M	5	2
1000M	5	2
