Wow. It's been a while since I've seen that happen. If it was truly a
'storm' then you might not have Spanning Tree enabled, which prevents loops
from forming. While Spanning Tree used to get a bad rap back in the day,
it's really important to have it on. I'd rather have a limited outage
caused by Spanning Tree clamping-down on a loop than have a broadcast storm.
