Figure 6- 27. Safeguard Engine example
For every consecutive checking interval that reveals a packet flooding issue, the Switch will double the time it will discard ingress
ARP and IP broadcast packets. In the example above, the Switch doubled the time for dropping ARP and IP broadcast packets
when consecutive flooding issues were detected at 5 second intervals. (First stop = 5 seconds, second stop = 10 seconds, third stop
= 20 seconds) Once the flooding is no longer detected, the wait period for dropping ARP and IP broadcast packets will return to 5
seconds and the process will resume.
NOTE: While in Exhausted mode, only trusted IP addresses are accepted to connect to the Switch.
