Configuring the Interval Timer
The interval timer defines the time period used in counting the number
of broadcast packets transmitted by a port. A port will not transmit more
than its maximum number of broadcast frames during the specified
timer interval. If a port reaches its maximum number, it will discard and
not forward any additional broadcast frames. You can specify a different
interval timer for 10 and 100 Mbps ports and 1000 Mbps ports.
To specify an interval timer, perform the following procedure:
1. From the Home page, select Configuration.
The System menu option is selected by default along with the
General tab when you open the Configuration page. If they are
not already selected, select them now.
2. In the Broadcast Storm Control section, enter values for the two
interval timers.
The interval timer for 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps ports is in
milliseconds and has a range of 10 to 120 milliseconds. The value
should be entered in increments of 10.
The interval timer for 1000 Mbps ports is in microseconds and has
a range of 100 to 120000 microseconds. The value should be
entered in increments of 100.
A value for an interval timer applies to all ports operating at the
corresponding speed.
3. After you have entered your values, click Apply.
4. Go to the next procedure to set values for the maximum number of
broadcast frames the ports on the switch will transmit.
