Storm control for the switch is configured on this Page. There is a unicast storm rate control, multicast storm rate control, and a
broadcast storm rate control. These only affect flooded frames, i.e. frames with a (VLAN ID, DMAC) pair not present on the MAC
Address table.
The configuration indicates the permitted packet rate for unicast, multicast or broadcast traffic across the switch.
