CONFIGURING THE SWITCH

Storm Control

Broadcast storms may occur when a device on your network is malfunctioning, or if application programs are not well designed or properly configured. If there is too much broadcast traffic on your network, performance can be severely degraded or everything can come to complete halt.

You can protect your network from broadcast storms by setting a threshold for broadcast traffic for each port. Any broadcast packets exceeding the specified threshold will then be dropped.

Field Attributes

•Type – List the type of traffic which can be rate limited, including ICMP, learn frames, broadcast, multicast and flooded unicast frames.

•Enable Storm Control – Click the check box to enable storm control for the specific frame type.

•Rate(number of frames per second) – The Rate field is set by a single drop-down list. The same threshold is applied to every port on the switch. When the threshold is exceeded, packets are dropped, irrespective of the flow-control settings.
