Storm control, what is unknown unicast?
When enabling storm control with something like
storm-control broadcast enable
storm-control include-multicast unknown-unicast
What counts as an unknown unicast packet? Using a 5548 as an example, but the same question applies across the range of PowerConnects that we have.

So under normal circumstances, there would be an ARP broadcast, the reply would give the switch the MAC address of the target machine, and subsequent packets would be "known unicast" as the switch knows the port to which that MAC address is connected?
