Broadcast Storm Control - EverFocus ES1625-31 User Manual

5.4 Broadcast Storm Control

The switch implements a broadcast storm control mechanism. Tick the check boxes to have them
beginning to drop incoming broadcast packets if the received broadcast packet counts reach the
threshold defined. Each port's broadcast storm protection function can be enabled individually by
ticking the check boxes.
The broadcast packet is only checked at the selected port and the number of broadcast packets is
counted in every time unit. One time unit is 500 us for 10Mbps speed and 5ms for 100Mbps. The
excessive broadcast packet will be discarded. For those broadcast packets incoming from the
un-selected port, the switch treats it as the normal traffic.
 Threshold: Type in the threshold in the range between 1 and 63 to limit the maximum byte
counts, which a port can send or receive in a period of time.
 Enable Port: Having ticked the boxes, the port will stop transmitting or receiving data when
their sending byte counts or receiving byte counts reach the defined threshold.
Click Update to have the configuration take effect.
