Broadcast storm means that the broadcasting frame quantities are
soaring up due to the continuous transmissions, which brings negative
effect on the communication, degrades the system performance and
even results in breakdown of the network.
While enabling the storm control, the switch will discard the excessive
broadcasting messages as the broadcast traffic on the port exceeds the
limited value (2000pps), thus reducing the proportion of the broadcast
traffic to the limited range.

Address
Learning
Enable/disable the address learning function of the selected port.
While enabling the address Learning, if no corresponding MAC address
in the MAC address table as the switch receives the data package, it will
broadcast this package to all ports. The switch will record the
corresponding MAC port to the MAC table when the destination host
returns some information from one port.
The MAC address table keeps the system port corresponding with the
MAC address of the host linking with that port.
Tip
While enabling the function
MAC Binding
, the MAC address learning
function of this port will be automatically disabled.
