Storm Control
Broadcast storms may occur when a device on your network is malfunctioning, or if application
programs are not well designed or properly configured. If there is too much broadcast traffic on
your network, performance can be severely degraded or everything can come to complete halt.
You can protect your network from broadcast storms by setting a threshold for
broadcast traffic for each port. Any broadcast packets exceeding the specified
threshold will then be dropped.
