Configuring Storm Control
Storm control limits the amount of Multicast, Broadcast and Unknown Unicast frames accepted and forwarded by the
device. When Layer 2 frames are forwarded, Broadcast, Multicast and Unknown Unicast frames are flooded to all ports on
the relevant VLAN. This occupies bandwidth, and loads all nodes on all ports.
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.
