5.3.3 Storm Control

Storm Control: Suppresses the transfer of bandwidth limiting broadcast packets
through the switch. When broadcast packets reach the set bandwidth limitation,
the XMS-1024 automatically discards the packet to ensure a stable environment
that is free from broadcast storms.
w
Broadcast Rate: The allowed bandwidth rate of broadcast packets. Default is
1024kb or 1mb/second.
w
Multicast Rate: The allowed bandwidth rate of multicast packets. Default is
1024kb or 1mb/second.
