To configure storm control
The storm control settings allow you to specify thresholds for broadcast or multicast traffic that

the traffic again.

2. In the top panel under MAC Forwarding, click Broadcast/Multicast Storm Control.
3. Configure these following fields for each port group.

To configure advanced traffic control
Advance traffic control sets the threshold for the amount of traffic a port can handle before
triggering flow control. You must enable flow control on the ports before you can set a flow control
threshold.
1. In the left panel, click Forwarding.
2. In the top panel under MAC Forwarding, click Advance Traffic Control.
3. Select the port you want to configure and click Edit.
