Manage Broadcast Filtering and Set Port Storm Control
Rate Limits
A broadcast storm is a massive transmission of broadcast packets that are forwarded
to every port in a VLAN on the switch. If they are not blocked, broadcast storm packets
can delay or halt the transmission of other data and cause problems. However, you can
block broadcast storms on the switch.
You can also set storm control rate limits for each port. Storm control measures the
incoming broadcast, multicast, and unknown unicast frame rates separately on each
port, and discards the frames if the rate that you set for the port is exceeded. By default,
no storm control rate limit is set for a port. You can select each storm control rate limit
as a predefined data transfer threshold from 1 Mbit/s to 500 Mbit/s.
To manage broadcast filtering and set the storm control rate limits for ports:
1.
Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the
switch or to the switch directly through an Ethernet cable.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the switch.
The login page displays.
3. Enter the switch password.
The default password is password. The password is case-sensitive.
The HOME page displays.
4.
From the menu at the top of the page, select SWITCHING.
The QOS page displays.

If the selection from the QoS Mode menu is not the QoS mode that you want to
configure, do the following to change the QoS mode:
