What value to set storm control rate [Mbps]
Hi, On my GS105Ev2 I wish to set a value for the storm rate limit (QoS > Broadcast filtering). I'm unsure what to set the limit at for each port, because when googling, I only find people talking...
Thanks XavierLL for your prompt answer.
So lets see if I understand this.
Connections on my switch are
_ 1 <=> ISP modem @ 200Mbps 2 <=> Devolo Powerline to WiFi AP 3 <=> single Raspberry Pi (w/ 100M ethernetcard) 4 5 <=> Ethernet Gigabit LAN _
On port 1 (which connects to my ISP modem) I think I should disable storm control as I don't expect storm coming in from outside.
Port 2 goes to a WiFI AP at the top floor. It has little traffic. So I'd propose 1Mbps.
I have a Raspberry Pi connected to port 3. It has a 100Mbit NIC. It's not going to cause a storm on its own, me thinks. So, 0.5Mbps should suffice or should I disable it?
All the other traffic goes to/from the Gigabit LAN on port 5. I could set that at 16Mbps.
Have I got that about right?
Hi Mausy5043
Thanks for your explanation :)
For the upcoming port you are right you can turn it off as it's unlikely that you will have a broadcast storm initiated from the internet connection.
For the rest I will suggest to keep it at arround 10Mbps as even the traffic per port could be little as the AP or the 100M connection , if you don't implement VLAN or Port Isolation the Broadcast traffic will automatically flow to all the ports.
Hope it helps!
