Traffic Prioritization
Storm Control
There is a unicast storm rate control, broadcast storm rate control, and an unknown storm rate
control. These only affect flooded frames, i.e. frames with a (VLAN ID, DMAC) pair not present on
the MAC Address table.
The rate is a numerical figure. The unit of the rate can be either kbps, Mbps, fps or kfps. The
configuration indicates the permitted packet rate for unicast, broadcast, or unknown traffic across
the switch.
Note: Frames, which are sent to the CPU of the switch are always limited to approximately 4 kpps.
For example, broadcasts in the management VLAN are limited to this rate.
