Packet type: You can assign the Rate for specific packet types based on packet
number per second. The packet types of the Ingress Rule listed here include
Broadcast, DLF (Destination Lookup Failure) and Multicast. Choose
Enable/Disable to enable or disable the storm control of specific port.
Rate: This column allows you to manually assign the limit rate of the port. The
unit is packets per second. The limit range is from 1 to 262143 packet/sec, zero
means no limit. The maximum available value of Fast Ethernet interface is
148810, this is the maximum packet number of the 100M throughput.
Enter the Rate field of the port you want assign, type in the new value and then
press on the Enter key first. After assigned or changed the value on all the ports
you want to configure.
Click on Apply to apply the configuration of all ports. The
Apply command applied all the ports’ storm control value
4.3.5 Port Trunking
Port Trunking configuration allows you to group multiple Ethernet ports in parallel
toand to increase link bandwidth. The aggregated ports can be viewed as one
physical port so that the bandwidth is higher than merely one single Ethernet
port. The member ports of the same trunk group can balance the loading and
backup for each other. Port Trunking feature is usually used when you need
higher bandwidth for backbone network. This is an inexpensive way for you to
transfer more data.
There are some different descriptions for the port trunking. Different
