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 for broadcast packets on the
port.
