ONFIGURATION
Use the Traffic > Storm Control page to configure broadcast storm control
thresholds. Broadcast storms may occur when a device on your network is
malfunctioning, or if application programs are not well designed or properly
configured. If there is too much broadcast traffic on your network,
performance can be severely degraded or everything can come to complete
halt.
You can protect your network from broadcast storms by setting a threshold
for broadcast traffic. Any broadcast packets exceeding the specified
threshold will then be dropped.
