Figure 125 Ethernet Port Configuration: Bandwidth Ctrl.
The following table describes the labels in this screen.
16.13 Broadcast Storm Control
Broadcast storm control limits the number of broadcast, multicast and destination lookup
failure (DLF) packets the switch receives per second on the ports. When the maximum number
of allowable broadcast, multicast and/or DLF packets is reached per second, the subsequent
packets are discarded. Enable this feature to reduce broadcast, multicast and/or DLF packets in
your network.
To open the configuration screen, right-click on the switch in the Device List Panel, and click
Configuration > Ethernet Port > Broadcast Storm Ctrl.. Then select a device and the
port(s) to which you want to apply this configuration.

LABEL DESCRIPTION
Enable Select this check box to enable ingress and/or egress bandwidth control.
You may temporarily deactivate a rule without deleting it by clearing this check box.
Ingress Rate Type the maximum bandwidth allowed in kilobits per second (Kbps) for traffic coming
into this port.
Commit Rate Specify the guaranteed bandwidth allowed in kilobits per second (Kbps) for the
incoming traffic flow on a port. The commit rate should be less than the peak rate. The
sum of commit rates cannot be greater than or equal to the uplink bandwidth.
Peak Rate Specify the maximum bandwidth allowed in kilobits per second (Kbps) for the incoming
traffic flow on a port.
Egress Rate Type the maximum bandwidth allowed in kilobits per second (Kbps) for traffic going out
of this port.
