CLI – The following example displays the LACP configuration settings and
operational state for the remote side of port channel 1.

Setting Broadcast Storm Thresholds

Broadcast storms may occur when a device on your network is malfunctioning, or if
application programs are not well designed or properly configured. If there is too
much broadcast traffic on your network, performance can be severely degraded or
everything can come to complete halt.

You can protect your network from broadcast storms by setting a threshold for
broadcast traffic. Any broadcast packets exceeding the specified threshold will then
be dropped.

Command Usage
• Broadcast Storm Control is enabled by default.
• Broadcast control does not effect IP multicast traffic.

Command Attributes
Port - Port number.
• Type – Indicates the port type. (100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T, or SFP)
• Protect Status – Shows whether or not broadcast storm control has been enabled.

(Default: Enabled)

• Threshold – Threshold as percentage of port bandwidth. (Range: 64-100000

kilobits per second for Fast Ethernet ports; 64-1000000 kilobits per second for
Gigabit ports)

Trunk – Shows if a port is a trunk member.
