4-3-8-2. Broadcast Storm Filtering

Broadcast storm filtering is used to limit the amount of broadcast traffic on the

network. An excessive amount of broadcast traffic can inhibit data packets

from timely delivery.

The valid threshold values are 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% and NO. If the

broadcast traffic is greater than the configured value, broadcast packets will

be dropped. The default is NO. The default is set so that no broadcast

packets are ever dropped no matter how many broadcast packets there are

on the network.
