Storm Control
A broadcast storm is the result of an excessive number of broadcast messages simultaneously
transmitted across a network by a single port. Forwarded message responses can overload network
resources and/or cause the network to time out.
The switch measures the incoming broadcast/multicast/unknown unicast packet rate per port and
discards packets when the rate exceeds the defined value. Storm control is enabled per interface,
by defining the packet type and the rate at which the packets are transmitted.
To display the Storm Control page, click Security  Traffic Control, and then click the Storm
Control link.
