sh int status

[subhojithalder198]

HI ,

When I see "sh int status" from core switch --access switch port, I am getting huge count of Broadcast/multicast packet

How to refrain that behaviour & how to check what machine/host is generating the traffic.

Also any fine-tuning needs to be done in our network to control that behaviour.

Hi Subhojit,

The only way that you will be able to know the source of the broadcast / multicast traffic is by getting a sniffer capture and analyzing it.

In order to contain / limit unicast / broadcast / multicast traffic, you need to configure storm-control on the affected ports. You may refer the following link for detailed information.

I hope this helps.

Thanks,
