Parameter Description

Broadcast control on

all ports

Allows you to enable/disable broadcast storm

control for all ports on the switch.

Threshold The packet-per-second threshold at which

broadcast control will be employed 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.)
