storm-control
Defaults Broadcast, multicast, and unicast storm control are disabled.
The default action is to filter traffic and to not send an SNMP trap.
Command Modes Interface configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines The storm-control suppression level can be entered as a percentage of total bandwidth of the port, as a
rate in packets per second at which traffic is received, or as a rate in bits per second at which traffic is
received.
When specified as a percentage of total bandwidth, a suppression value of 100 percent means that no
limit is placed on the specified traffic type. A value of level 0 0 means that all broadcast, multicast, or
unicast traffic on that port is blocked. Storm control is enabled only when the rising suppression level is
less than 100 percent. If no other storm-control configuration is specified, the default action is to filter
the traffic causing the storm and to send no SNMP traps.
Note When the storm control threshold for multicast traffic is reached, all multicast traffic except control
traffic, such as bridge protocol data unit (BDPU) and Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) frames, are
blocked.
The trap and shutdown options are independent of each other.
If you configure the action to be taken as shutdown (the port is error-disabled during a storm) when a
packet storm is detected, you must use the no shutdown interface configuration command to bring the
interface out of this state. If you do not specify the shutdown action, specify the action as trap (the
switch generates a trap when a storm is detected).
level pps pps
[pps-low]
Specify the rising and falling suppression levels as a rate in packets per second at
which traffic is received on the port.
• pps—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 pps is reached.
• pps-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.
action
{shutdown |
trap}
Action taken when a storm occurs on a port. The default action is to filter traffic and
to not send an Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) trap.
The keywords have these meanings:
• shutdown—Disables the port during a storm.
• trap—Sends an SNMP trap when a storm occurs.
