Description
Broadcast control on all
ports
Allows you to enable/disable broadcast storm control for
all ports on the switch.
Threshold
The packet-per-second threshold at which broadcast
control will be employed on the port.
(Default is 500 pps.)
Broadcast Control
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.)
