Broadcast Storm
Use the Broadcast Storm page to set the Switch’s
broadcast storm control and threshold limits.
A broadcast storm occurs when an incorrect packet is
sent out on a network, causing most hosts to respond
all at once and typically with wrong answers that start
the process over again. Broadcast storms use substantial
network bandwidth and may cause network time-outs.
The settings include:
■ Status – Enables and disables broadcast storm
control.
■ Packet Rate Threshold – Sets the broadcast storm
threshold (64 to 1000000 kilobits per second).
