When a network loop occurs, as illustrated between Switch 1 (SW 1) and Switch 2 (SW 2), there is a risk of broadcast traffic being multiplied, which can overload the switch's CPU and disrupt network operations. Enabling Broadcast Storm Control on a port that participates in the loop — for example, port 9 on SW 1 — provides…
Scenario: In a busy network, devices can send out a large number of broadcast packets simultaneously. This can overwhelm the network, causing a 'broadcast storm,' which may lead to network slowdowns or even a complete halt in traffic. Broadcast Storm Control is a feature that helps prevent this by setting a limit on the…
