Port Thresholds
You can configure threshold limits for broadcast, unicast, and multicast traffic for
each active port on the Port Thresholds tab. This feature is available only with
Full firmware. The number of packets being sent is compared against the
threshold value. These limits help to prevent a single device from sending too
much traffic. For more information about this feature, see
Port Thresholds on
page 95.
