Storm Control Configuration

When Broadcast, Multicast, or unknown Unicast frames are received, they are
duplicated, and a copy is sent to all possible egress ports. This means that in
practice, they are sent to all ports belonging to the relevant VLAN. In this way,
one ingress frame is turned into many, creating the potential for a storm.
Storm protection provides the ability to limit the number of frames entering
the switch, and to define the types of frames that are counted towards this
limit.
When a threshold (limit) is configured on the device, the port discards traffic
when that threshold is reached. The port remains blocked until the traffic rate
drops below this threshold. It then resumes normal forwarding.
