Broadcast Storm Protection

Some devices in the network may generate broadcast storms, thereby jamming
the network with broadcast packets. It may take about 10 seconds to detect a
broadcast storm.
When the Broadcast Storm Protection is Enabled, the system will monitor the
incoming packets to see if that port is enduring a broadcast storm. While
Broadcast Storm is detected, the port will be disabled temporarily and the
frame around the port number will blink. The message zone will show the
message "BRDCST STORM" altering normal display. Every 15 minutes, the
port will be released to see if it is still enduring the broadcast storm.
The Broadcast Storm Protection function is disabled when shipped from
manufacturer. This function can be enabled through the Mini-Console. The
command sequence is:
UNIT CONFIG > STORM DET > ENABLE><Enter and hold>
After the command is entered, it will be saved in the EEPROM.
