Storm Control
A broadcast storm is the result of an excessive number of broadcast messages
simultaneously transmitted across a network by a single port. Forwarded message
responses can overload network resources and/or cause the network to time out.
The switch measures the incoming broadcast/multicast/unknown unicast packet rate per port
and d
iscards packets when the rate exceeds the defined value. Storm control is enabled per
interface, by defining the packet type and the rate at which the packets are transmitted.
To configure storm control settings:
1. Select Security
Traffic Control > Storm Control.
2. Select the check box next to the port to configure.
Select multiple check boxes to apply the same setting to all selected ports. Select the
che
ck box in the heading row to apply the same settings to all ports.
3. From
the Ingress Control Mode menu, select the mode of broadcast affected by storm
control.
• Disable.
Do not use storm control.
