Egress Bandwidth

Figure 7-18. Egress Bandwidth Settings window

To configure egress bandwidth for a specific port, select the desired port under Port Num and enter a
bandwidth between 1 and 127 in the next field. Click Apply to let your changes take effect. To delete an
entry, click the Delete icon.

Threshold of Broadcast

Figure 7-19. Threshold of Broadcast/Multicast/DA-Unknown Storm window

The Switch allows you to set the threshold for three types of storms: broadcast, multicast, and
destination address unknown. The higher the threshold, the more packets the Switch can accept per
second. If the threshold is exceeded, any additional packets received will be dropped. Entering a low
value means packets have a greater chance to exceed the threshold and, thus, be dropped from the
Switch.

To use the features on this window, select Enabled from the drop-down menu, enter a threshold, and
then click Apply.
