have to send out broadcast packets to be relearned by the switch and have its

address put in the table. The valid range is 300 to765 seconds. Default is 300

seconds.

6-3-8-2. Broadcast Storm Filtering

Broadcast storm filtering is used to limit the amount of broadcast traffic on the

network. An excessive amount of broadcast traffic can inhibit data packets

from timely delivery.

The valid threshold values are 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% and N/A. If the

broadcast traffic is greater than the configured value, broadcast packets will be

dropped. The default is N/A. The default is set so that no broadcast packets

are ever dropped no matter how many broadcast packets there are on the

network.

6-3-8-3. Max Bridge Transmit Delay Bound

Max bridge transmit delay bound (0,1-4 sec): Limits the packets queuing

time in the switch. If enabled, the packets exceeding the queuing time will be

dropped. Press the Space key to set the time. Valid values are 1sec, 2sec, 4sec

and OFF. The default is 1 second when this feature is enabled. This setting

does not depend on what values are set in the “Priority Configuration” menu.

Low Queue Delay Bound: If this parameter is enabled, the “Max bridge

transmit delay bound” must also be configured. This item allows you to limit

queuing time of the low priority packets in the switch. When the low priority

packets exceed the “Max Delay Time” they will be transmitted. Press the Space

key to enable or disable this function. By default the Enable Delay Bound is set

to OFF.
