Description
Allows you to enable/disable broadcast storm
control for all ports on the switch.
The packet-per-second threshold at which
broadcast control will be employed on the port.
(Default is 500 pps.)
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.
(Default is Enabled.)
