3. Configure these following fields for each port group.

Field

Description

 

 

Upper Threshold (Kpps)

Specifies, in thousands, the number of broadcast or multicast packets per

second a port can receive before triggering a storm control response.

 

 

 

Broadcast Storm Mode

Enables or disables storm control for broadcast packets.

 

 

Multicast Storm Mode

Enables or disables storm control for multicast packets.

 

 

4. Click Apply.

To configure advanced traffic control

Advance traffic control sets the threshold for the amount of traffic a port can handle before triggering flow control. You must enable flow control on the ports before you can set a flow control threshold. (To enable flow control, see Port Configurations.)

1.In the left panel, click Forwarding.

2.In the top panel under MAC Forwarding, click Advance Traffic Control.

3.Select the port you want to configure and click Edit.

4.In the Flow Control Threshold field, enter a value from 2—57344.

5.If you want this setting to apply to more than the selected port, select a group of ports in the Configure Port from field.

6.Click Apply.

The table displays this information about the ports:

Field

Description

 

 

Port

The port number.

 

 

Flow Control Threshold

The current value of the flow control threshold.

 

 

Drop Packet

A status field that indicates whether the port is currently dropping packets.

 

 

Flow Control Status

A status field that indicates whether the port is currently implementing flow

control.

 

 

 

Port Connection

A status filed that indicates the port’s speed, duplex mode, and flow control

mode.

 

 

 

To configure static IP routes

1.In the left panel, click Forwarding.

2.In the top panel under IP Forwarding, click Static/Default Routes.

3.Click New and configure these fields.

Field

Description

 

 

IP Address

Specifies the IP address to be statically entered into the IP forwarding table.
