2.10  Rate and Storm Control 
To improve overall system performance, the GSS-24T2SFP web smart switch provides rate and 
broadcast storm control. This can limit the per-port traffic rate and limit global broadcast storms from 
reducing the performance of the overall system. 
 
2.10.1  Rate Control 
The switch supports per-port rate control. When the incoming frame rate of a particular port exceeds a 
selected rate, the excess frame traffic is subject to flow control through either packet droping or flow 
control. 
 
Click the Rate & Storm Control submenu to open the Rate Limit and Storm Control page to 
configure this function.
