Storm Control - EnGenius EWS Series User Manual

Storm Control

Storm Control limits the amount of Broadcast, Unknown Multicast, and Unknown Unicast frames
accepted and forwarded by the Switch. Storm Control can be enabled per port by defining the packet
type and the rate that the packets are transmitted at. The Switch measures the incoming Broadcast,
Unknown Multicast, and Unknown Unicast frames rates separately on each port, and discards the frames
when the rate exceeds a user-defined rate.

threshold, the traffic is dropped.
