7.2.11.2 storm-control broadcast

This command enables broadcast storm recovery mode on the selected interface. If the mode is
enabled, broadcast storm recovery with high threshold is implemented. The threshold implementation
follows a percentage pattern. If the broadcast traffic on any Ethernet port exceeds the high threshold
percentage (as represented in “Broadcast Storm Recovery Thresholds” table) of the link speed, the
switch discards the broadcasts traffic until the broadcast traffic returns to the threshold percentage or
less. The

full implementation is depicted in the “Broadcast Storm Recovery Thresholds” table.
