config traffic control 
Purpose  Used to configure broadcast / multicast traffic control. 
Syntax 
config traffic control [ports [<portlist> | all] state [enable |

Description  This command is used to configure broadcast storm control. 
Parameters  ports <portlist> - Enter a port or range of ports to be configured. 
all − Specifies all ports on the Switch will be configured. 
storm_type – Allows the user to enter a type of broadcast storm for 
which to configure the traffic control. The user may choose one of

broadcast_dlf – Entering this parameter will enable 
broadcast and destination lookup failure (dlf) storm control. 
broadcast_multicast_dlf – Entering this parameter will 
enable broadcast, multicast and destination lookup failure (dlf) 
storm control. 
threshold [10 | 100 | 1000 | 10000 | 15000] − The upper threshold at 
which the specified traffic control is switched on. The value is the 
number of broadcast/multicast/dlf packets, in Kbps, received by the 
Switch that will trigger the storm traffic control measures. The value
