Storm Control


Forwarding broadcast traffic consumes switch resuources, which can negatively impact the forwarding of other traffic. This configuration page is used to protect regular traffic from an overabundance of broadcast or multicast traffic.


Port
Configures a single port or all ports.


Control Type
Specifies the type of the packet storm. Known multicast means the multicast address needs to be learned by the switch first; otherwise, it will be treated as unkonwn unicast traffic.


Control Rate
Specifies a rate for storm control.
