Storm Control settings

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. Any broadcast packets exceeding the specified threshold will then be dropped.

Web Smart switch interface

1.Click Security, Storm Control.

2.Select the Storm Control type.

4.Set the State to “On” and set the threshold rate.
