Storm Control settings
Broadcast storms may occur when a device on your network is malfunctioning, or if application programs are not
well designed or properly configured. If there is too much broadcast traffic on your network, performance can be
severely degraded or everything can come to complete halt. You can protect your network from broadcast storms
by setting a threshold for broadcast traffic. Any broadcast packets exceeding the specified threshold will then be
dropped.
