Configuring Virtual Switch

{{ $t('productDocDetail.updateTime') }}: 2026-01-05

Description

This section guides administrators in creating a distributed virtual switch.

The distributed virtual switch supports broadcast storm prevention and can set the flow and packet rate threshold.

Precautions

  1. Distributed virtual switches are all Layer 2 switches.
  1. Usually it is directly connected to Layer 3 devices such as virtual routers.

Prerequisites

None.

Steps

  1. Navigate to Networking > Topology, and click Edit.

  1. Drag the virtual switch from the network device on the left to the network topology, click Apply Changes, and click Exit in the upper left corner to complete the virtual switch creation.
  2. Click the virtual switch, click Advanced in the selection box on the right to configure broadcast storm prevention parameters, and click Save.

• Flow rate threshold: When a broadcast storm occurs on the switch, you can limit the switch to forward the network flow rate or disconnect some interfaces to block the storm.

• Packet rate threshold: When the switch has a broadcast storm, you can limit the switch forwarding and sending rate or disconnect some interfaces to block the storm.
