MS Windows NLB (Network Load Balancing) floods stuff, so I have ~250Mbps minimum of flooded traffic on that VLAN... We disabled storm control on the ports in that specific VLAN, and yes, we really will do normal loadbalancing if I can get the Exchange admins to budge... > Do most people have storm control enabled or disabled? Enabled, it can prevent other bad stuff, like looped traffic, not per se a loop on the specific switch. Plus, it's a switch, not a hub. :) Kind regards, JP Velders _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
