v1.0, October 2007
Enabling Storm Control
The Storm Control feature enables you to prevent network performance from being disrupted by
specifying the threshold of ingress broadcast or multicast and broadcast packets on each port. The
traffic source may be Multicast and Broadcast; Broadcast only; or Unknown Unicast, Multicast or
Broadcast—or it may be disabled. A selected received threshold rate of between 1000 and 65535
packets per second may be specified in each case. If Multicast and Broadcast is selected as the
source of the traffic, then the threshold value is the combined rate of both types of packet. If the
incoming traffic rate of the specified packet types is above the specified value, the packets are
discarded.
