# NETGEAR ProSafe GSM7228S: Disabling the Broadcast Storm Control
The instructions on this page is specific to the 10 Gigabit uplink switches (NETGEAR ProSafe GSM7228S) only.
When enabled, the Broadcast Storm Control feature on the NETGEAR ProSafe GSM7228S may interfere with the synchronization mechanism used by OptiTrack Ethernet cameras. For proper system operations, the Strom Control features must be disabled for all of the ports used in this aggregator switch.

* On windows, open the *Network and Sharing Center* and access *Change adaptor settings*.
* Right-click on the adapter that the network switch is connected to and access its properties.
* Among the list of items, select the *Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)* and access its properties by clicking the *Properties* button.
**Step 2. Make a note of the IP address settings for the network card connected to the switch.**
**Step 3. Change the IP address of the network card connected to the switch to 169.254.100.200. As shown below.**
**Step 4. Open windows explorer, and access 169.254.100.100**
**Step 5. Log into the switch with Username 'admin', and leave Password blank**
**Step 6. Navigate to Security->Traffic Control->Storm Control->Storm Control Global Configuration**
**Step 7. Ensure that all storm control options are disabled, and then click Apply**

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.optitrack.com/v1.1/hardware-setup/netgear-prosafe-gsm7228s-disabling-the-broadcast-storm-control.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
