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.
(Default is Enabled.)
Threshold 500 The packet-per-second threshold for
broadcast packets on the port.
