You can add a maximum of 64 TCP/UDP Port Filter entries to the table, out of which 7 are default entries.
5.10.5 Storm Threshold Filter
The Storm Threshold Filter restricts the excessive inbound multicast or broadcast traffic on layer two interfaces. This protects
against broadcast storms resulting from spanning tree misconfiguration. A broadcast or multicast filtering mechanism needs
to be enabled so that a large percentage of the wireless link remains available to the connected mobile terminals.

To configure Storm Threshold Filter, navigate to ADVANCED CONFIGURATION > Filtering > Storm Threshold Filter. The
Storm Threshold Filter screen appears. This screen contains information about the threshold values per second of the
multicast and broadcast packets that can be processed for the interface(s) present in the device.

Description
Interface
Allows to configure the type of interface on which filtering has to be applied. The Storm
Threshold filter can be used to filter the traffic on two types of interfaces: Ethernet or
Wireless. By default, Storm Threshold filtering is disabled on both Ethernet and Wireless
interfaces.

Multicast Threshold
Allows to configure the threshold value of the multicast packets to be processed for the
Ethernet or Wireless interface. Packets more than threshold value are dropped. If threshold
value for multicast packets is set to '0', filtering is disabled. The default Multicast
Threshold value is 0 per second.
