Broadcast Storm Control
On the Aggregator, the broadcast storm control feature is enabled by default on all ports, and disabled on a
port when an iSCSI storage device is detected. Broadcast storm control is re-enabled as soon as the
connection with an iSCSI device ends.
Broadcast traffic on Layer 2 interfaces is limited or suppressed during a broadcast storm. You can view the
status of a broadcast-storm control operation by using the show io-aggregator broadcast storm-
control status command. You can disable broadcast storm control by using the no io-aggregator
broadcast storm-control
command.
Dell Networking OS Behavior: If broadcast traffic exceeds 1000 Mbps, the Aggregator limits it to 1000 Mbps
per port-pipe.
