Excessive amounts of these constitute a storm. The most common way for a broadcast storm to happen is from a switching loop. If you somehow get a switching loop on your network, these broadcasts will perpetually send this data back and forth forever, or until you remove the loop. This will cause data to hit every machine on your segment.
This can cause your network to stop. When you have a router in between multiple layer 2 segments, each is inherently protected from the other. Remember, a router won't forward on broadcasts. EDIT: But as mentioned by another user - if the port on your router has been configured to be a switchport, then it will not drop the broadcast packet and instead it will forward it through the switchports on the router.
The router will only drop broadcast packets if the port is configured as a router port. Just for clarity, it is a bit misleading to say a router stops broadcasts. The rule is that a router will only forward broadcast packets onto the interfaces that lead back into the same network that the packet came from. For example, if a router has two interfaces on the same network, it will forward a broadcast coming from one of those devices to the other.

It was a juniper SRX — Ahmed. It was still stop the ARP packet as it is a broadcast right — Ahmed. This is a hard lesson to not disable STP, even if you are not using it. You can even right click on the hidden networks and connect to them. You still need to know the network password in order to connect, but not having the SSID will not prevent a connection attempt from being made.
If you still want to disable SSID broadcast on your router, it only requires a few steps. Open a web browser and type this IP address in this example, The procedure to do this varies from router to router.
On other routers, follow the procedure below for the router that matches yours. Ryan has been writing how-to and other technology-based articles online since Read Ryan's Full Bio.
