■
blip

You should be aware of the following points when
using Broadcast Storm Control:
■
The Switch takes 5–7 seconds to recognize that a
broadcast storm is occurring.
■
Broadcast Storm Control calculates the average
broadcast bandwidth over the previous
20-second interval. The average is based on four
samples taken at 5-second intervals.
■
When the average value exceeds the rising
threshold value, the rising action is triggered.
The action is not triggered again until the aver-
age broadcast bandwidth falls below the falling
threshold level.
