4.8.7 Traffic control

Traffic control prevents the switch bandwidth from flooding packets includ-

ing broadcast packets, multicast packets and the unicast packets because

of destination address lookup failure. The limit number is a threshold to

limit the total number of the checked type packets. For example, if broad-

cast and multicast are enabled, the total traffic amount for those two types

will not exceed the limit value.

Broadcast: Choose disable or input a number for rate limit of

broadcast packets

Multicast: Choose disable or input a number for rate limit of multicast

packets

Destination Lookup Failure: Choose disable or input a number for

rate limit of destination lookup failure packets
