9.4 Storm Control
Traffic storm control limits the number of broadcast and/or multicast packets the Zyxel Device receives
on the ports. When the maximum number of allowable broadcast and/or multicast packets is reached,
the subsequent packets are discarded. Enable this feature to reduce broadcast and/or multicast
packets in your network.
Note: The maximum traffic rate can be changed using the CLI (see the CLI Reference Guide).
