(the flow control default is disabled) abilities to its partner.
• Current Auto Negotiation -- The currently configured Auto Negotiation setting.
• Admin Speed -- The speed at which the LAG is operating.
• Current LAG Speed -- The currently configured speed at which the LAG is operating.
• Admin Back Pressure -- Enables or disables Back Pressure mode on the LAG. Back Pressure mode is
effective on the ports operating in Half Duplex in the LAG.
• Current Back Pressure -- The currently configured Back Pressure setting.
• Admin Flow Control -- Enables/disables flow control, or enables the auto negotiation of flow control on the
LAG. Flow Control mode is effective on the ports operating in Full Duplex in the LAG.

Storm Control
A BroadcastStorm is a result of an excessive amount of broadcast messages simultaneously transmitted across a network
by a single port. Forwarded message responses are heaped onto the network, straining network resources or causing the
network to time out.
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.
