5.2.11 Broadcast Storm Protection
Function name: Broadcast Storm Protection configuration
Function description: When the broadcast packets received by the switch exceed the threshold configured, the port will be
blocked for a period of time that can be set. After a configured time, the switch will detect whether the broadcast packets
received on the port still exceed the threshold. If the broadcast traffic is still higher than the configured threshold, the port will be
closed for a period of time again. If the broadcast traffic is under the threshold, the port will re-open and forward the packets
normally.
