Re: Broadcast strom contol - Unicast traffic affected

Hi Vibeesh,

Why you applied it on switch uplink interface.that too with 0 threshold ?

I am suspecting your unicast traffic is affecting because the switch normal
mac-address learing process got infected.

I suggest apply it on the access ports and that too with specfic threshold.
