III-6-1. SECURITY STORM CONTROL
A traffic storm happens when there is excessive packets flood to the LAN and decreases the
performance. The Storm Control function is used to prevent the system from breaking down by the
broadcast, multicast, or unknown unicast traffic storm. When the Storm Control is enabled on the
specific traffic type, the system will monitor the incoming traffic. If the traffic is more than the
configured level, the traffic will be dropped to avoid the storm.
