Configuring Storm Control on the PowerConnect 2716/2724

The PowerConnect 2716 and PowerConnect 2724 switches measure the rate of incoming Broadcast/Multicast packets rate separately, per port (the same rate is configured globally, per device), and discards excess packets when the rate exceeds the defined threshold value.

The PowerConnect 2716 and PowerConnect 2724 switch users can do the following:

•Set the maximum number of Broadcast/Multicast frames allowed on each port, in terms of number of packets per second.

•Enable or disable packet storm control, on a per-portbasis.

To open the page, click Storm Control in the tree view.
