storm-control
Use the storm-control interface configuration command to enable broadcast, multicast, or unicast storm 
control and to set threshold levels on an interface. Use the no form of this command to return to the 
default setting.
storm-control {{broadcast | multicast | unicast} level {level [level-low] | bps bps [bps-low] | pps 
pps [pps-low]}} | {action {shutdown | trap}}
no storm-control {{broadcast | multicast | unicast} level} | {action {shutdown | trap}}
Syntax Description broadcast Enable broadcast storm control on the interface.
multicast  Enable multicast storm control on the interface.
unicast  Enable unicast storm control on the interface.
level level 
[level-low]
Specify the rising and falling suppression levels as a percentage of total bandwidth 
of the port.
  • level—Rising suppression level, up to two decimal places. The range is 0.00 to 
100.00. Block the flooding of storm packets when the value specified for level 
is reached. 
  • level-low—(Optional) Falling suppression level, up to two decimal places. The 
range is 0.00 to 100.00. This value must be less than or equal to the rising 
suppression value. If you do not configure a falling suppression level, it is set to 
the rising suppression level.
level bps bps 
[bps-low]
Specify the rising and falling suppression levels as a rate in bits per second at which 
traffic is received on the port.
  • bps—Rising suppression level, up to 1 decimal place. The range is 0.0 to 
10000000000.0. Block the flooding of storm packets when the value specified 
for bps is reached. 
  • bps-low—(Optional) Falling suppression level, up to 1 decimal place. The range 
is 0.0 to 10000000000.0. This value must be equal to or less than the rising 
suppression value.
You can use metric suffixes such as k, m, and g for large number thresholds.
