The purpose of broadcast, multicast or unknown unicast storm control is to limit too many broadcast, multicast or unknown
unicast packets flooding in the network. Each port has a counter that tracks the number of broadcast packets received per
second. The counter is cleared once per second. If the broadcast, multicast, or unknown unicast storm control is enabled,
the port will discard all broadcast, multicast or unknown unicast packets received when the counter is greater or equal to
the programmed Threshold.
Broadcast Storm, Multicast Storm and Destination Lookup Fail may be Enabled or Disabled for either group.
