Storm Control
Broadcast storms may occur when a device on your network is malfunctioning, or if application programs are
not well designed or properly configured. If there is too much broadcast traffic on your network, performance
can be severely degraded or everything can come to complete halt.
You can protect your network from broadcast storms by setting a threshold for broadcast traffic for each port.
Any broadcast packets exceeding the specified threshold will then be dropped.
