sw_dis_broad_storm(9)

💅 sw_dis_broad_storm(9) — the "okay bestie, no more storm" page

hi bestie 🫶 welcome to another page of the Kernel API Manual, and yes the manual name is literally sw_dis_broad_storm(9) — say it with me, it's giving "small function, big feelings" ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

sw_dis_broad_storm — disable broadstorm 💀

(that's the whole name section, she's short and to the point, no cap)

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void sw_dis_broad_storm (struct ksz_hw *hw , int port );

nothing back, void as the void itself — it just does the thing and ghosts you 🙈

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• hw — The hardware instance. like, the actual switch hardware we're chatting with 🦋
• port — The port index. which port specifically, bestie, be specific ✨

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so here's the tea ☕ — this routine disables the broadcast storm limit function of the switch.

that's it. that's the whole vibe. it turns the limit off, not on. no extra lore, no secret side quests, fr fr. 🌈

lowkey important: the description says disables. if you were hoping this was the "turn the limiter on" girlie, that's a different page in SEE ALSO — sw_ena_broad_storm(9) 😌
