Time Interval (5-600)
The Time Interval will set the time between Multicast and Broadcast packet counts
sent from the Switch’s chip to the Traffic Control function. These packet counts are the
determining factor in deciding when incoming packets exceed the Threshold value.
The Time Interval may be set between 5 and 600 seconds, with a default setting of 5
seconds.
Threshold (0-255000)
Specifies the maximum number of packets per second that will trigger the Traffic
Control function to commence. The configurable threshold range is from 0-255000
with a default setting of 131072 packets per second.
Traffic Control Type Specifies the desired Storm Control Type: None, Broadcast, Multicast, Unknown
Unicast, Broadcast + Multicast, Broadcast + Unknown Unicast, Multicast + Unknown
Unicast, and Broadcast + Multicast + Unknown Unicast.
Traffic Trap Settings
Enable sending of Storm Trap messages when the type of action taken by the Traffic
Control function in handling a Traffic Storm is one of the following:
None – Will send no Storm trap warning messages regardless of action taken by the
Traffic Control mechanism.
Storm Occurred – Will send Storm Trap warning messages upon the occurrence of a
Traffic Storm only.
Storm Cleared – Will send Storm Trap messages when a Traffic Storm has been
cleared by the Switch only.
Both – Will send Storm Trap messages when a Traffic Storm has been both detected
and cleared by the Switch.
This function cannot be implemented in the hardware mode. (When Drop is chosen for
the Action parameter)
Traffic Log Settings
Use the drop-down menu to enable or disable traffic log.
Traffic Auto Recover
Time (0-65535)
Enter a time for traffic auto recovery.
Click the Apply button to accept the changes made for each individual section.
NOTE: Traffic Control cannot be implemented on ports that are set for Link Aggregation (Port
Trunking).
NOTE: Ports that are in the Shutdown mode will be seen as Discarding in Spanning Tree windows and
implementations though these ports will still be forwarding BPDUs to the Switch’s CPU.
NOTE: Ports that are in Shutdown Forever mode will be seen as link down in all windows and screens
until the user recovers these ports.
NOTE: The minimum granularity of storm control on a GE port is 1pps.
