Set Up Broadcast Filtering

You can configure the switch to block broadcast storms (massive transmission of broadcast
packets forwarded to every port on the same VLAN). If they are not blocked, broadcast storm
packets can delay or halt the transmission of other data. Some switches allow you to select a
storm control rate for each port. Others assign a predetermined storm control rate for all ports
on the switch.
