3.2.10 Storm Control
Broadcast storms may occur when a device on your network is malfunctioning, or
if application programs are not well designed or properly configured. If there is
too much broadcast traffic on your network, performance can be severely
degraded or everything can come to complete halt.
You can protect your network from broadcast storms by setting a threshold for
broadcast traffic for each port. Any broadcast packets exceeding the specified
threshold will then be dropped.
3.2.10.1 Storm Control Configuration
There are three type of traffic that can be rate limited, including broadcast
multicast frame and Flooded Uncast Rate.
