Netgear M4300-52G-PoE+ (GSM4352PA) - 48x1G PoE+ Stackable Managed Switch with 2x10GBASE-T and 2xSFP+ (550W PSU) User Manual

The following table describes the nonconfigurable information displayed on the page.

A broadcast storm is the result of an excessive number of broadcast messages 

simultaneously transmitted across a network by a single port. Forwarded message 
responses can overload network resources and/or cause the network to time out. 

The switch measures the incoming broadcast/multicast/unknown unicast packet rate per port 
and discards packets when the rate exceeds the defined value. Storm control is enabled per 
interface, by defining the packet type and the rate at which the packets are transmitted.
