Configuring the GbE Interconnect Switch using the Menu-driven Interface
Configuring Thresholds for Broadcast, Multicast, DA-Unknown
Storm Prevention or Monitoring
The GbE Interconnect Switch allows you to set the 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.
To configure the threshold of a broadcast, multicast, unknown storm:
1. Highlight Configure Threshold of Broadcast/Multicast/DA-Unknown Storm on the
Configuration menu.
2. Press the Enter key. The following screen is displayed.
3. Toggle the desired storm option to Enabled. Leave the other two options Disabled.
4. Type a threshold in the Threshold (Pkts/sec) field.
5. Highlight APPLY.
6. Press the Enter key.
IMPORTANT: To save the configuration settings permanently, you must enter them into NVRAM
using the Save Changes option on the main menu. Refer to the “Saving Changes” section earlier
in this chapter.
