Description
Allows you to enable/disable broadcast storm
control for all ports on the switch.
The packet-per-second threshold for broadcast
packets 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.)
