Configuring Device Information
The following is an example of the CLI commands:
Enabling Storm Control
A Broadcast Storm is a result of an excessive amount of broadcast messages simultaneously transmitted
across a network by a single port. Forwarded message responses are heaped onto the network, straining
network resources or causing the network to time out.
The system measures the incoming Broadcast and Multicast frame rate separately on each port, and discard
frames when the rate exceeds a user-defined rate.
The
Storm Control page provides fields for enabling and configuring Storm Control. To open the Storm
Control page, click Switch
