Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Plus Switches If broadcast traffic on any port exceeds the threshold that you set, the switch temporarily blocks (discards) the broadcast traffic. To set up broadcast filtering: 1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch. You can use a WiFi or wired network connection, or connect directly to a switch that is off-network using an Ethernet cable. 2. Launch a web browser. 3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch. If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see Access the Switch Using a Web Browser on page 16. The login window opens. 4. Enter the switch password. The default password is password. The password is case-sensitive. The Switch Information page displays. 5. Select QoS > Broadcast Filtering. The Broadcast Filtering page displays. 6. If this is the first time that you are setting up broadcast filtering, select the Enable radio button and continue with the next step. Otherwise, see Step 8. 7. Click the Apply button. Your settings are saved and the Storm Control Rate table displays. The previous figure is an example. Your switch might provide more or fewer ports.
