Storm Control

The storm control function limits the maximum traffic rate for packet storm. Two types of

traffic storms can be limited: broadcast storm and flooding packet storm. You can enable

the storm control by port. Use the following steps to configure the storm control settings.

1. Set the suppression rate.

2. Select which storm will be controlled and which ports will be applied

•

All ports

•

None of the ports

•

Selected ports (use By Port to select the ports that will use storm control)

Note: Broadcast is "one to all" traffic, so every port will receive packets. Flooding is "one

to all" traffic, but caused by the MAC address not being found in the switch. All ports will

receive the packets.
