Function Name:
Broadcast Storm Filtering
Function Description:
Broadcast Storm Filtering is applied to filter the converter’s broadcast traffic. If
you choose an upper threshold, it is enabled. It is a global function. The setting
will be applied to all ports of the converter.
The threshold is the percentage of the port's total bandwidth used by
broadcast traffic. When broadcast traffic for a port rises above the threshold
you set, broadcast storm filter discards the extra broadcast traffic. This keeps
the total broadcast traffic less than the threshold able to be forwarded and
limits too many broadcast packet running over the network. Signamax 065-
1600 series supports five threshold values, including 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and
25%.
Default is OFF.
