Broadcast control on all ports Allows you to enable/disable broadcast storm control for all ports on the switch. 

Select [Enable] and press <Enter> to enable broadcast control for all ports. 

Select [Disable] and press <Enter> to disable broadcast control for all ports.

Threshold

The packet-per-second threshold for broadcast packets on the port. 

(Default is 500 pps.)

Broadcast Control

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.)
