Parameter	Description
Broadcast control on	Allows you to enable/disable broadcast storm
all ports	control for all ports on the switch.
Threshold	The packet-per-second threshold for broadcast
	packets on the port.
	(Default is 500 pps.)
Broadcast Control	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. (Default is Enabled.)
