Storm Threshold Setup
The Storm Thresholds screen is used to set threshold values for broadcast
and multicast messages.
In most situations, you will not need to set the Storm Thresholds.
However, if intensive multicast or broadcast messaging is typical of the
network protocols used in your network environment, you may wish to
control the maximum number of broadcast and multicast messages. If the
maximum value of broadcast or multicasts per second is exceeded, the
Secure Data Mode Station will ignore all subsequent messages issued by
the particular network device, or ignore all messages of that type coming
on that particular interface.
You can use the Storm Threshold screen to:
Specify a maximum value as received from a single network device
(identified by its MAC address).
Specify an absolute maximum of messages per second per Interface.
You can specify a set of thresholds for each Interface of the Secure Data
Mode Station access point, identifying separate values for the number of
Broadcast messages/second and Multicast messages/second.
