Setting Broadcast Storm Thresholds

Broadcast storms may occur when a device on your network is
malfunctioning, or if application programs are not well designed or
properly configured. If there is too much broadcast traffic on your
network, performance can be severely degraded or everything can come to
complete halt.
You can protect your network from broadcast storms by setting a
threshold for broadcast traffic for all ports. Any broadcast packets
exceeding the specified threshold will then be dropped.
Command Usage
• Broadcast Storm Control is enabled by default.
• The default threshold is 500 packets per second.
• Broadcast control does not effect IP multicast traffic.
