Storm Threshold
Click Configure > Filtering > Storm Threshold to use threshold limits to prevent broadcast/multicast overload.
Storm Threshold is an advanced Bridge setup option that you can use to protect the network against data overload by
specifying:
• A maximum number of frames per second as received from a single network device (identified by its MAC address).
• An absolute maximum number of messages per port.
The Storm Threshold parameters let you specify a set of thresholds for each port of the 5012/5054-SUI, identifying
separate values for the number of broadcast messages per second and multicast messages per second.
When the number of frames for a port or identified station exceeds the maximum value per second, the 5012/5054-SUI
ignores all subsequent messages issued by the particular network device, or ignores all messages of that type.
The following parameters are configurable:
• Per Address Threshold: Enter the maximum allowed number of packets per second.
• Ethernet Threshold: Enter the maximum allowed number of packets per second.
• Wireless Threshold: Enter the maximum allowed number of packets per second.
Broadcast Protocol Filtering
Click Configure > Filtering > Broadcast Protocol to deny specific IP broadcast, IPX broadcast, and multicast traffic.
