ch3 ch4 ch5 ch6 ch7 ch8 console# Enabling Storm Control A Broadcast Storm is a result of an excessive amount of broadcast messages simultaneously transmitted across a network by a single port. Forwarded message responses are heaped onto the network, straining network resources or causing the network to time out. The system measures the incoming Broadcast and Multicast frame rate separately on each port, and discard frames when the rate exceeds a user-defined rate. The Storm Control page provides fields for enabling and configuring Storm Control. To open the Storm Control page, click Switch→Ports→Storm Control in the tree view. Figure 7-92. Storm Control Count Multicast with Broadcast - Counts Broadcast and Multicast traffic. The possible field values are: - Enable - Counts Broadcast and Multicast traffic.
