DES-3010F/DES-3010FL/DES-3010G/DES-3018/DES-3026 Fast Ethernet Switch Manual
To configure Traffic Control, first select a group of ports by using the Group pull down menu. Finally, enable or disable
the Broadcast Storm, Multicast Storm and Destination Unknown using their corresponding pull-down menus.
The purpose of this window is to limit too many broadcast, multicast or unknown unicast packets folding the network.
Each port has a counter that tracks the amount of broadcast traffic received per second, and this counter is cleared once
every second. If the broadcast, multicast or unknown unicast storm control is enabled, the port will discard all broadcast,
multicast or unknown unicast packets received when the counter exceeds or equals the Threshold specified.
The Threshold value is the upper threshold at which the specified traffic control is switched on. This is the amount of
Broadcast, Multicast or DLF traffic, in Kbps (kilo bits per second), received by the Switch that will trigger the storm traffic
control measures. The Threshold value can be set from 64-1024000 kbps per second. The default setting is 64. The
settings of each port may be viewed in the Traffic Control Table in the same window. Click Apply to implement changes
made.
