CHAPTER 71
Storm Control
71.1 Storm Control Overview
This chapter introduces and shows you how to configure the storm control feature.
Storm control limits the number of broadcast, multicast and destination lookup failure (DLF) packets the
Switch receives per second on the ports. When the maximum number of allowable broadcast, multicast
and/or DLF packets is reached per second, the subsequent packets are discarded. Enable this feature
to reduce broadcast, multicast and/or DLF packets in your network. You can specify limits for each
packet type on each port.
71.1.1 What You Can Do
Use the Storm Control screen (Section 71.2 on page 477) to limit the number of broadcast, multicast and
destination lookup failure (DLF) packets the Switch receives per second on the ports.
71.2 Storm Control Setup
Click SECURITY > Storm Control in the navigation panel to display the screen as shown next.
