Enabling Storm Control

A Broadcast Storm is a result of an excessive amount of Broadcast messages simultaneously transmitted
across a network by a single port. Forwarded message responses are heaped onto the network, straining
network resources or causing the network to time out.
Storm Control is enabled per port by defining the packet type and the rate the packets are transmitted.
The system measures the incoming Broadcast, Unicast, and Multicast frame rate separately on each port,
and discard frames when the rate exceeds a user-defined rate.
