M4300 Broadcast UDP Dropping Fragments
I've got a strange one here..... I have some specific traffic from a media server which is transmitting UDP between PCs. All is well when only 1 machine is listening as the media server runs this ...
That looks like it has fixed it. I need to double check with the proper equipment but in the lab setup I was able to replicate the issue with a 16K ping and then when I disabled recovery or pushed the threshold to 30% my ping was working.
Is there anyway of applying this on a IP level (ie any broadcast from a specific address gets a different threshold)?
Thanks again for the help
Glad the Broadcast Storm Protection disablement or different threshold fixed this issue for now.
No, Storm Protection can only be configured globally, or at the physical interface (port) level.
If you want to manage that differently, by IP etc. then you could disable Broadcast Storm Protection on all ports where you intend big broadcast like that - and use ACLs to restrict the bandwidth. Advanced IP ACLs with source/destination IP can be configured with traffic rate and burst; then you can bind the ACL to the ports where you disabled the Storm Protection.
Thanks!
