Configuring Thresholds for Broadcast, Multicast, DA-Unknown
Storm Prevention or Monitoring
The GbE Interconnect Switch allows you to set a threshold (in packets per second) for three
types of storms: broadcast, multicast, and one where the packet destination address (DA) is
unknown. The higher the threshold, the more packets the GbE Interconnect Switch can accept
per second. If the threshold is exceeded, any additional packets received are dropped.
Entering a low value means packets have a greater chance to exceed the threshold and be
dropped from the GbE Interconnect Switch.
The following shows the broadcast, multicast, and DA-unknown storm monitoring factory
default settings:
Feature Default Value
Broadcast Storm Monitoring Disabled
Multicast Storm Monitoring Disabled
Destination Address Unknown Storm Monitoring Disabled
Storm Threshold 500 packets/second
