Rate Limiting Configuration

The Rate Limiting Configuration screen (Figure 3-14) allows you to limit the
forwarding rate of broadcast and multicast packets.

You can use this screen to view the percentage of broadcast packets and multicast
packets received, on a per-port basis. When the volume of broadcast and multicast
packets is high (often referred to as a “storm”) and places severe strain on the
network, you can set the forwarding rate of those packet types to not exceed a
specified percentage of the total available bandwidth.

Note:

The BayStack Model 350F Rate Limiting Configuration screen displays

only 14 ports.
