Storm Control

A broadcast storm is the result of an excessive number of broadcast messages simultaneously transmitted
across a network by a single port. Forwarded message responses can overload network resources and/or
cause the network to time out.
Your switch measures the incoming broadcast/multicast/unknown unicast packet rate per port and
discards packets when the rate exceeds the defined value. Storm control is enabled per interface, by
defining the packet type and the rate at which the packets are transmitted.
Use the Storm Control page to enable and configure storm control.
To display the Storm Control interface, click Switching → Ports → Storm Control in the tree view.
