An engineer notices traffic interruption on the network. Upon further investigation, it is learned that broadcast packets have been flooding the network .
What must be configured, based on a predefined threshold, to address this issue?
- A . Bridge Protocol Data Unit guard
- B . embedded event monitoring
- C . storm control
- D . access control lists
Suggested Answer: C
Explanation:
Storm control prevents traffic on a LAN from being disrupted by a broadcast, multicast, or unicast storm on one of the physical interfaces. A LAN storm occurs when packets flood the LAN, creating excessive traffic and degrading network performance. Errors in the protocol-stack implementation, mistakes in network configurations, or users issuing a denial-of-service attack can cause a storm. By using the “
storm-control broadcast level [falling-threshold]” we can limit the broadcast traffic on the switch.
