Port Broadcast Storm Protect Configuration
Use the Port Broadcast Storm Protect Configuration screen to configure
broadcast storm control for any port on the switch.
Parameter Default Description
Broadcast Storm
Protect Mode
Enabled Allows you to enable/disable broadcast storm
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.
