4-2-16. Broadcast Strom Protection
Function name:
Broadcast Strom Protection configuration
Function description:
When the broadcast packets received by the switch exceed the threshold
configured, the port will be blocked for a period of time which can be set. After
a configured time, the switch will detect whether the broadcast packets
received on the port still exceed the threshold. If the broadcast traffic is still
higher than, the port will be closed for a period of time again. If the broadcast
traffic is under the threshold, the port will re-open and forward the packets
normally.
