Defining Storm Control
When Broadcast, Multicast, or Unknown Unicast frames are received, they are duplicated, and a copy is
sent to all possible egress ports. This means that in practice they are sent to all ports belonging to the
relevant VLAN. In this way, one ingress frame is turned into many, creating the potential for a traffic storm.
Storm protection enables you to limit the number of frames entering the device and to define the types of
frames that are counted towards this limit.
When the rate of Broadcast, Multicast, or Unknown Unicast frames is higher than the user-defined
threshold, frames received beyond the threshold are discarded.
