Port and VLAN Mirroring
Port and VLAN mirroring monitors network traffic by forwarding copies of
incoming and outgoing packets from a monitored port to a monitoring port.
Users specify which target port receives copies of all traffic passing through a
specified source port.

.
Broadcast Storm Control
Storm Control enables limiting the number of Multicast and Broadcast
frames accepted and forwarded by the device.
When Layer 2 frames are forwarded, Broadcast and Multicast frames are
flooded to all ports on the relevant VLAN. This occupies bandwidth and loads
all nodes connected on all ports.

VLAN tag or on a combination of the ingress port and packet contents.
Packets sharing common attributes can be grouped in the same VLAN.
