Set Up Broadcast Filtering
You can configure the switch to block broadcast storms (massive transmission of
broadcast packets forwarded to every port on the same VLAN). If they are not blocked,
broadcast storm packets can delay or halt the transmission of other data. Some switches
allow you to select a storm control rate for each port. Others assign a predetermined
storm control rate for all ports on the switch.
