4.1.8 Traffic Prioritization
4.1.8.1 Storm
Control
There is a unicast storm rate control, multicast storm rate control, and a broadcast storm rate control.
These only affect flooded frames, i.e. frames with a (VLAN ID, DMAC) pair not present on the MAC
Address table.
The rate is 2^n, where n is equal to or less than 15, or "No Limit". The unit of the rate can be either pps
(packets per second) or kpps (kilopackets per second). The configuration indicates the permitted packet
rate for unicast, multicast, or broadcast traffic across the switch.
Note: Frames, which are sent to the CPU of the switch are always limited to aproximately 4 kpps. For
example, broadcasts in the management VLAN are limited to this rate. The management VLAN is
configured on the IP setup page.
