Traffic Control
Use the

Figure 4- 7. Traffic Control Setting window
Traffic or storm control is used to stop broadcast, multicast or ARP request storms that may result when a loop is created.
The Destination Lookup Failure control is a method of shutting down a loop when a storm is formed because a MAC
address cannot be located in the Switch’s forwarding database and it must send a packet to all ports or all ports on a
VLAN.
To configure Traffic Control, select the Unit (Unit ID of a Switch in a Switch stack
−
15 for a Switch in standalone mode)
you want to configure.
Broadcast Storm
,
Multicast Storm
and
Destination Lookup Failure
may be
Enabled
or
Disabled
. The Threshold value is the upper threshold at which the specified traffic control is switched on. This is the
number of Broadcast, Multicast or DLF packets, in Kbps, received by the Switch that will trigger the storm traffic control
measures. The Threshold value can be set from
0
to
255
packets. The default setting is
128
.
