Set Up Broadcast Filtering

You can configure the switch to block broadcast storms (massive transmission of broadcast packets forwarded
to every port on the same VLAN). If they are not blocked, broadcast storm packets can delay or halt the
transmission of other data. Some switches allow you to select a storm control rate for each port. Others
assign a predetermined storm control rate for all ports on the switch.
If broadcast traffic on any port exceeds the threshold that you set, the switch temporarily blocks (discards)
the broadcast traffic.
To set up broadcast filtering:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired network connection, or connect directly to a switch that is off-network using
an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser.
3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
