Storm Control
NOTE
Due to a chip limitation, the switch supports only one limit on an interface for both ingress rate
limiting and storm control (including unknown unicast, multicast, and broadcast storms).
Parameters
These parameters are displayed:
• Interface – Displays a list of ports or trunks.
• Type – Indicates interface type. (1000Base-T, 1000Base SFP)
• Unknown Unicast – Specifies storm control for unknown unicast traffic.
• Multicast – Specifies storm control for multicast traffic.
• Broadcast – Specifies storm control for broadcast traffic.
• Status – Enables or disables storm control. (Default: Enabled for broadcast storm control,
disabled for multicast and unknown unicast storm control)
• Rate – Threshold level as a rate; i.e., kilobits per second.
(Range: 64-1000000 kbps; Default: 64 kbps)
Interface
To configure broadcast storm control:
1. Click Traffic, Storm Control.
2. Set the Status field to enable or disable storm control.
3. Set the required threshold beyond which the switch will start dropping packets.
4. Click Apply.
