Broadcast/Multicast Storm Control:
• Upper Threshold: [255]Kpps – This is the number of thousands Broadcast/Multicast packets per second

storm.
• Broadcast Storm Mode:<Disabled> – This field can be toggled between Enabled and Disabled using the space

• Multicast Storm Mode:<Disabled> – This field can be toggled between Enabled and Disabled using the space
bar. This enables or disables, globally, the Switch’s reaction to Multicast storms, triggered at the threshold set above.

To setup RIP, click Layer 3 IP Networking on the Main Menu. The following menu appears:
