Overview Use this command to specify the speed limiting level for broadcasting, multicast,

multicast or DLF traffic.

no storm-control {broadcast|multicast|dlf} level
Default By default, storm-control is disabled.
Mode Interface Configuration
Usage Flooding techniques are used to block the forwarding of unnecessary flooded
traffic. A packet storm occurs when a large number of broadcast packets are
received on a port. Forwarding these packets can cause the network to slow down
or time out.
Example To limit broadcast traffic on port1.0.2 to 30% of the maximum port speed, use the
following commands:
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# interface port1.0.2
awplus(config-if)# storm-control broadcast level 30
