Port Management: Broadcast Storm Control
The switch implements a broadcast storm control mechanism.
Tick the check boxes to have them beginning to drop incoming
broadcast packets if the received broadcast packet counts reach
the threshold defined. Each port’s broadcast storm protection
function can be enabled individually by ticking the check boxes.
The broadcast packet is only checked at the selected port and the
number of broadcast packets is counted in every time unit. One
time unit is 500 us for 10Mbps speed and 5ms for 100Mbps. The
excessive broadcast packet will be discarded. For those broadcast
packets incoming from the un-selected port, the switch treats it as
the normal traffic.
¾
Threshold: Type in the threshold in the range between 1 and
63 to limit the maximum byte counts, which a port
can send or receive in a period of time.
¾
Enable Port: Having ticked the boxes, the port will stop
transmitting or receiving data when their sending
byte counts or receiving byte counts reach the
defined threshold.
