You should be aware of the following points when using Broadcast
Storm Control:
The Switch takes 5-7 seconds to recognize that a broadcast storm is
occurring.
Broadcast Storm Control calculates the average broadcast bandwidth over
the previous 20 second interval. The average is based on 4 samples which
are taken at 5 second intervals.
When the average value exceeds the rising threshold value, the rising action
is triggered. The action will not be triggered again until the average
broadcast bandwidth falls below the falling threshold level.
Specifying the Backbone Port
Specifying the backbone port for your Switch 1005 is carried out
through the VLAN Setup screen. Refer to
“Specifying a Backbone Port”
in Chapter 4
