• Broadcast 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 a complete halt. You can protect your network
from broadcast storms by setting a maximum threshold for broadcast
traffic.
