MTU and VLAN Health checks. Major Issues?

Hi All

I am being told that my hosts are pumping out giant broadcast frames on my network that could cause significant packet storms to occur?

This only seems to happen if there is a problem with a VLAN and the Health monitoring is turned on.

If I turn off health monitoring on the MTU and VLAN it stops.

Can anyone please confirm if this can cause massive issues or how and what it is actually doing to monitor the Health state??

I will be unable to turn this function back on until I can be sure it wont be an issue.

Thanks
