A municipal library consortium’s parking-garage switch is overwhelmed by broadcasts from a failing IoT NIC. What feature limits that storm on the access port?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Storm control is a volume knob on the port—when broadcasts scream past the threshold, the switch starts dropping them so one sick IoT NIC doesn’t take the garage switch down.
Full Explanation
Storm control monitors broadcast, multicast, and/or unknown unicast rates on a port and drops or shuts based on configured thresholds when a faulty NIC or loop generates a storm. Option 82, BGP dampening, and RA Guard address DHCP policy, route stability, and IPv6 RA threats respectively—not L2 broadcast storms from a failing endpoint.
