roadcast Storms
ne of the best features of the Magnum 6K family of switches is its ability to
eep broadcast storms from spreading throughout a network. Network storms
(or broadcast storms) are characterized by an excessive number of broadcast
packets being sent over the network. These storms can occur if network equipment is
configured incorrectly or the network software is not properly functioning or badly designed
