Rate Limits

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 a complete

halt.

You can protect your network from broadcast storms by setting a threshold

for broadcast traffic for each port. Any broadcast packets exceeding the

specified threshold will then be dropped.

Field Attributes

• Enable Rate Limits – Click to select the box to enable rate limits.

(Default: Disabled)

• Limit (number of frames per second) – Threshold of port

bandwidth measured in number of frames per second. From the drop

down menu you can choose the desired limit. The value specifies the

size of the available input bandwidth that can be made available for

broadcast and multicast traffic. The same limit size is applied to every

port on the switch. When the limit size is exceeded, packets are

dropped, irrespective of the flow control settings.

Web – Click System, Rate Limits. This page enables you to set the broadcast

storm control parameters for the switch.
