Broadcast Storm
A broadcast storm occurs when an incorrect packet is 
sent out on a network, causing most hosts to respond 
all at once and typically with wrong answers that start 
the process over again. Broadcast storms use substantial 
network bandwidth and may cause network time-outs.
Two tabs are available on the Broadcast Storm page:
■ Summary
■ Modify
Summary
Use the Summary tab to display the broadcast mode 
and rate for all the ports.
