8.3.3 Authentication Information
This page lists all the MAC authentication information including MAC Address, From Port, and
Authenticate state.
8.4 Storm Control
Traffic storm will be generated when there are multiple broadcast / multicast / DLF
(Destination Lookup Failed) packets passing through a port, thus it will lead to traffic
congestion. If the transmission rate of the three kind packets exceeds the set bandwidth, the
packets will be automatically discarded to avoid network broadcast storm.
This page sets thresholds of the specified Traffic Type.
Specify the traffic Type can be selected from: None, Broadcast, Broadcast + Multicast, and
Broadcast + Multicast + DLF Multicast. If “None” is selected, it means that storm control is
disabled. And specify the limited rate. As to the unknown DA unicast, there are two ways to
deal with: discard and forward.
