8.9 Broadcast Storm Control

Broadcast storm control limits the number of broadcast, multicast and destination lookup failure
(DLF) packets the device receives per second on the ports. When the maximum number of
allowable broadcast, multicast and/or DLF packets is reached per second, the subsequent packets
are discarded. Enable this feature to reduce broadcast, multicast and/or DLF packets in your
network. You can specify limits for each packet type on each port.
To open this screen, select a device which supports this feature from the OTV, Device View or Group
View panel in the Application > Port Management > Broadcast Storm Control screen.
