Storm Control

A broadcast storm means that your network is overwhelmed with constant broadcast or
multicast traffic. Broadcast storms can eventually lead to a complete loss of network
connectivity as the packets proliferate.
Storm Control protects the Switch bandwidth from flooding packets, including broadcast
packets, multicast packets, and destination lookup failure (DLF).
Broadcast storm control limits the number of broadcast, multicast and unknown unicast
(also referred to as Destination Lookup Failure or DLF) packets the Switch receives per
second on the ports. When the maximum number of allowable broadcast, multicast and
unknown unicast packets is reached per second, the subsequent packets are discarded.
Enable this feature to reduce broadcast, multicast and unknown unicast packets in your
network.
The default rate is 300pps for Broadcast and DLF. You can set to maximum rate of
5000pps for multicast, broadcast or DLF
