First thing I would try is to see if you can shut off the unnecessary
protocols. Print servers do that a lot too. I had a customer recently who
was experiencing poor network performance and I found an Intel print server
that was pumping out about 10,000 IPX RIP packets a minute. It wasn't
servicing any Netware queues so I removed IPX from it.

Subject: getting rid of broadcast storm on 5500
Hello everyone:
We got 2 catalyst 5500 serving 1500 nodes. We got old WANG system which
sends all protocol traffic including banyan, netbuie, ipx etc. We experience
broadcast
storm at least couple times a day and network load hits the sky.
I am also certain that it's coming from WANG system and wondering how do I
prevent it.
Thanks in advance.
Dost
