CHAPTER 15
Broadcast Storm Control
15.1 Overview
This chapter introduces and shows you how to configure the broadcast storm
control feature.
Broadcast storm control limits the number of broadcast, multicast and destination
lookup failure (DLF) packets the Switch receives per second on the ports. When
the maximum number of allowable broadcast, multicast and/or DLF packets is
reached per second, the subsequent packets are discarded. Enable this feature to
reduce broadcast, multicast and/or DLF packets in your network. You can specify
limits for each packet type on each port.
15.2 What You Can Do
Use the Broadcast Storm Control screen (Section 15.3 on page 144) to limit the
number of broadcast, multicast and destination lookup failure (DLF) packets the
Switch receives per second on the ports.
