Parameter Description

Broadcast control on all ports Allows you to enable/disable broadcast storm control for all ports on the switch.

Select [Enable] and press <Enter> to enable broadcast control for all ports.

Select [Disable] and press <Enter> to disable broadcast control for all ports.

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.)
