CHAPTER 19
Storm Control
19.1 Overview
This chapter introduces and shows you how to configure the broadcast storm
control feature.
Broadcast storm control limits the number of broadcast, multicast and unknown
unicast and multicast packets the Switch receives per second on the ports. When
the maximum number of allowable broadcast, multicast and/or unknown packets
is reached per second, the subsequent packets are discarded. Enable this feature
to reduce broadcast, multicast and/or unknown packets in your network. You can
specify limits for each packet type on each port.
19.2 What You Can Do
Use the Storm Control screen (Section 19.3 on page 138) to limit the number of
broadcast, multicast and unknown unicast and multicast packets the Switch
receives per second on the ports.
