Hello there. If you believe that you are observing higher broadcast traffic than expected, the the BEST course of action would be to find the source of this traffic. Otherwise, there is a 'broadcast suppresion' feature available in the CatOS software you are already running which will help prevent your switchports from being congested with broadcast traffic:

Check the conig guide for the same feature on the other platforms.

However, I urge you to identify the source of the traffic first, so you ensure that you are not killing off legitimate traffic.

I hope this helps.

Regards,

Bill.
