Broadcast Storm

Use the Broadcast Storm page to set the Switch's
broadcast storm control and threshold limits.
A broadcast storm is an incorrect packet sent out on a
network that causes most hosts to respond all at
once, typically with wrong answers that start the
process over again. Broadcast storms use substantial
network bandwidth and may cause network
time-outs.
The settings include:
Status – Enables and disables broadcast storm
■
control.
Packet Rate Threshold – Sets the broadcast storm
■
threshold (64 to 1000000 kilobits per second).
