Parameter Default Description
Broadcast Storm
Protect Mode Enabled Allows you to enable/disable broadcast storm
control for all ports on the switch.
Protect Status Enabled 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.
Threshold 500 The packet-per-second threshold at which
broadcast control will be employed on the port.
