6.8 Broadcast Storm Control
This section introduces and shows you how to configure the broadcast storm control feature.
Broadcast storm control limits the number of broadcast, multicast and Unicast packets the Switch
receives per second on the ports. When the maximum number of allowable broadcast, multicast
and/or Unicast packets is reached per second, the subsequent packets are discarded. Enable this
feature to reduce broadcast, multicast and/or Unicast packets in your network. You can specify
limits for each packet type on each port.
