The broadcast packet is only checked at the selected port and the number of broadcast
packets is counted in every time unit. One time unit is 500 us for 10Mbps speed and
5ms for 100Mbps. The excessive broadcast packet will be discarded. For those
broadcast packets incoming from the un-selected port, the switch treats it as the normal
traffic.
Threshold: Type in the threshold in the range between 1 and 63 to limit the
maximum byte counts, which a port can send or receive in a period of time.
Enable Port: Having ticked the boxes, the port will stop transmitting or receiving
data when their sending byte counts or receiving byte counts reach the defined
threshold.
Click Update to have the configuration take effect.
Example:
The broadcast storm of the port1~ port 8 are enabled and the threshold is set to 10. The
broadcast packets will be dropped when number of broadcast packets are more than
the threshold (packet length is 64 bytes).
