Traffic Storm Control
A traffic storm can happen when packets flood the network; this causes excessive traffic and slows down
the network performance. To counter this, Traffic Storm Control provides an efficient design to prevent the
network from flooding caused by a broadcast, multicast, or unicast traffic storm on a physical network layer.
The feature can handle packets from both ingress and egress data.
First click Traffic Storm Control on the menu, and then click the edit icon on the specific port you want to
configure.
Configure the following settings.
There are three methods that can be used for traffic storm control: Broadcast, Multicast, and Destination
Lookup Failure (DLF).
