Hi All,
In the past year we have been hit with a multicast storm and a broadcast st=
orm that took out large portions of our network. We are looking at option=
s to limiting the damage of one of these storms caused by a misbehaving cli=
ent.
1. Has anyone implemented storm controls on their building switch port=
s and/or their core ports?
2. Are there any issues to be aware of with devices having problems wi=
th these controls in place?
3. Are there best practices on what thresholds to put in place (either=
based on percentage of bandwidth or packets/second)?
Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thank you,
Joe Karam
