Broadcast Storm

Use the Broadcast Storm page to set the Switch’s broadcast storm control and threshold limits.

A broadcast storm is an incorrect packet sent out on a network that causes most hosts to respond all at once, typically with wrong answers that start the process over again. Broadcast storms use substantial network bandwidth and may cause network time-outs.

The settings include:

Status – Enables and disables broadcast storm control.

Packet Rate Threshold – Sets the broadcast storm threshold (64 to 1000000 kilobits per second).
