Storm Threshold

Storm Threshold is an advanced Bridge setup option that you can use to protect the network against data overload by:

Specifying a maximum number of frames per second as received from a single network device (identified by its MAC address).

Specifying an absolute maximum number of messages per interface.

The Storm Threshold parameters allow you to specify a set of thresholds for each interface of the AP, identifying separate values for the number of broadcast messages/second and Multicast messages/second.

When the number of frames for an interface or from a single network device exceeds the maximum value per second, the AP will ignore all subsequent messages in that second received on that interface or from that network device.

Address Threshold: Enter the maximum allowed number of packets per second.

Ethernet Threshold: Enter the maximum allowed number of packets per second.
