broadcast storms can delay or halt the transmission of other data. Some switches allow
you to select a storm control rate for each port. Others assign a predetermined storm
control rate for all ports on the switch.
If broadcast traffic on any port exceeds the threshold that you set, the switch temporarily
blocks (discards) the broadcast packets.
To set up broadcast filtering:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired network connection, or connect directly to a switch that
is off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser.
3.
In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
The login page displays.
4. Enter the switch password.
The default password is password. The password is case-sensitive.
The Switch Information page displays.
5. Select QoS > Broadcast Filtering.
The Broadcast Filtering page displays.

radio button and continue with the next step.
