DESCRIPTION

Active

Select this check box to enable traffic storm control on the Switch. Clear this check

 

box to disable this feature.

 

 

Port

This field displays a port number.

 

 

*

Settings in this row apply to all ports.

 

Use this row only if you want to make some settings the same for all ports. Use this

 

row first to set the common settings and then make adjustments on a port-by-port

 

basis.

 

Note: Changes in this row are copied to all the ports as soon as you

 

make them.

 

 

Active

check box to disable the feature.

 

 

Rate

Specify the traffic a port receives in Kilobits per second (Kbps).

 

If you enter a number between 64 and 1728, the Switch automatically rounds the

 

number down to the nearest multiple of 64.

 

If you enter a number between 1729 and 1999, the rate is fixed at 1792.

 

If you enter a number between 2000 and 103999, the Switch rounds the number

 

down to the nearest multiple of 1000.

 

On a Gigabit Ethernet/ Mini-GBIC port, the Switch rounds a number down to the

 

nearest multiple of 8000 for a number between 104000 and 1000000.

 

 

Apply

Click Apply to save your changes to the Switch’s run-time memory. The Switch

 

loses these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Save link on the top

 

navigation panel to save your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are

 

done configuring.

 

 

Cancel

Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.
