broadcast packets falls to an acceptable level (below a
falling threshold
), the SNMP agent can remove the
blocking condition, returning the port to its normal operational state.
In the Switch, the default rising threshold is met when more than 500 broadcast packets per second are being
detected on a specified port. Once the rising threshold is surpassed for a duration of more than 5 seconds, it
will trigger the broadcast storm rising action configured by the user. The default falling threshold is met if
there are less than 250 broadcast packets per second. It is triggered once the duration is at least 30 seconds.
The actions can easily be defined by using a normal SNMP management program or through the console
interface.
