4.7.6 Storm Control

Forwarding broadcast traffic consumes switch resuources, which can negatively impact the forwarding of other traffic. This

configuration page is used to protect regular traffic from an overabundance of broadcast or multicast traffic. The system

measures the incoming Broadcast and Multicast frame rate separately on each port, and discard frames when the rate exceeds

a user-defined rate.

The Storm Control page provides fields for enabling and configuring Storm Control. The screen in

appears.
