4.8.7 Storm Control Configuration
Storm control for the switch is configured on this page. There three types of storm rate control:
Unicast storm rate control
Multicast storm rate control
Broadcast storm rate control.
The rate is 2^n, where n is equal to or less than 15, or "No Limit". The unit of the rate can be either pps (packets per second) or kpps (kilopackets per second). The configuration indicates the permitted packet rate for unicast, multicast, or broadcast traffic across the switch.
