Set Up Broadcast Filtering

You can configure the switch to block broadcast storm protection (massive transmission of
broadcast packets forwarded to every port on the same VLAN). If they are not blocked,
broadcast storm packets can delay or halt the transmission of other data. Some switches
allow you to select a storm control rate for each port; others assign a predetermined storm
control rate for all ports on the switch.
