To guarantee reliable data exchange during high broadcast traffic, the
Switch can limit broadcast traffic.
By entering a number for each port, you can set the number of broadcasts
that can be sent out of this port within a second.
If more than the maximum entered number of broadcasts are sent within a
second, the Switch rejects all subsequent broadcasts destined for this port.
A global setting activates/deactivates the broadcast limiter function at all
ports.
