window appears.

Security > Storm Control

The

Storm Control

window contains the following fields:

•

Interface — Indicates the interface from which storm control is enabled.

Port

— Indicates the port from which storm control is enabled.

•

Broadcast Control — Select the checkbox to apply Broadcast Control on
the selected interface.

•

Mode — Specifies, and allows configuration of the Broadcast mode
currently enabled on the device. The possible field values are:

Multicast & Broadcast

— Counts Broadcast and Multicast traffic

together.

Broadcast Only

— Counts only Broadcast traffic.

•

Rate Threshold — The maximum rate (Kbps) at which Broadcast or
Broadcast and Multicast packets are forwarded. The ranges are 70Kbps –
100Mbps for FE ports, and 3.5Mbps – 100Mbps for GE ports. The default
value is 3500Kbps.
