Storm Threshold
Storm Threshold is an advanced Bridge setup option that you can use to 
protect the network against data overload by:
•  Specifying a maximum number of frames per second as received 
from a single network device (identified by its MAC address).
•  Specifying an absolute maximum number of messages per port.
The Storm Threshold parameters allow you to specify a set of thresholds 
for each port of the AP, identifying separate values for the number of 
broadcast messages/second and Multicast messages/second.
When the number of frames for a port or identified station exceeds the 
maximum value per second, the AP will ignore all subsequent messages 
issued by the particular network device, or ignore all messages of that 
type.
•  Address Threshold: Enter the maximum allowed number of 
packets per second.
•  Ethernet Threshold:
 
Enter the maximum allowed number of 
packets per second.
•  Wireless Threshold: Enter the maximum allowed number of 
packets per second.
