Network broadcast storms or malfunctioning network devices will gener-
ate unexpected, large packets which can block network traffic. EKI-6538
provides rate control to configure the ingress/egress rate of unicast/multi-
cast/broadcast packets in parts and limit the bandwidth of each individual
port to prevent unexpected network traffic.
The rate control page shows current rate limitation of each port, click on
the port number to enter specific port setting and storm control setting.
Ingress rate: The limitation of input rate.
