Broadcast Storm Control
Description
Use this feature to filter out broadcasts from faulty devices and prevent
them from degrading network performance.
Setting: Use the
z to enable or disable broadcast storm control on
this port.
Upper Threshold: Type a value from 1-20%. The default value is 20%. This
control lets you set the threshold of broadcast traffic on a port (shown as a
percentage of the port’s total bandwidth) that will activate broadcast storm
control. When the amount of broadcast traffic on the port exceeds the
upper threshold, the port drops all broadcast traffic. When broadcast traffic
falls below the threshold the switch automatically starts forwarding
broadcast traffic again.
