The CNS switch is seeing ~5000pps of broadcast traffic from the MICE main switch. I don't know what the normal rate is, but it seems like it is a bit high. Especially given that the average broadcast cost over the uptime of the switch is about 20pps. If the Mankato switch has a high broadcast rate, I'd shut down the port and see if things stabilize. ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the MICE-DISCUSS list, click the following link: http://lists.iphouse.net/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=MICE-DISCUSS&A=1
