Re: getting rid of broadcast storm on 5500
One command you may be able to use is: set port broadcast mod/port threshold[%] (threshold = 0..15 packets/second or 0-100 percent 0 pps or 100% unlimits broadcast traffic) Just apply it to the port the WANG systems are hanging off.

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.

RE: getting rid of broadcast storm on 5500
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.

Try setting the broadcast threshold.
