broadcast storm control for any port on the switch. 
Figure 3-37.  Port Broadcast Storm Protect Configuration
Parameter
Default Description
Broadcast Storm 
Protect Mode
Enabled
Allows you to enable/disable broadcast storm 
control for all ports on the switch.
Protect Status
Enabled
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.
Threshold
500
The packet-per-second threshold at which 
broadcast control will be employed on the port.
