4.5.4 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.
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.
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.
Click Update to make the configuration effective.
