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	Enabled	Allows you to enable/disable broadcast storm
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.
