PORT CONFIGURATION

You can protect your network from broadcast storms by setting a port or trunk threshold for broadcast traffic. Any broadcast packets exceeding the specified threshold will then be dropped.

Command Usage

Broadcast Storm Control is enabled by default.

The default threshold is six percent of the port bandwidth.

Broadcast control does not effect IP multicast traffic.
