2.10 Rate and Storm Control

To improve overall system performance, the GSS-24T2SFP web smart switch provides rate and broadcast storm control. This can limit the per-port traffic rate and limit global broadcast storms from reducing the performance of the overall system.

2.10.1 Rate Control

The switch supports per-port rate control. When the incoming frame rate of a particular port exceeds a selected rate, the excess frame traffic is subject to flow control through either packet droping or flow control.

Click the Rate & Storm Control submenu to open the Rate Limit and Storm Control page to configure this function.
