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-port
basis.
To open the page, click

in the tree view.
