Usage Guidelines
ATC includes storm control for broadcast or multicast traffic. The control response
for either of these traffic types is the same, as shown in the following diagrams.
Figure 1: Storm Control by Limiting the Traffic Rate
The key elements of this diagram are described below:
◆ Alarm Fire Threshold – The highest acceptable traffic rate. When ingress traffic
exceeds the threshold, ATC sends a Storm Alarm Fire Trap and logs it.
◆ When traffic exceeds the alarm fire threshold and the apply timer expires, a
traffic control response is applied, and a Traffic Control Apply Trap is sent and
logged.
◆ Alarm Clear Threshold – The lower threshold beneath which a control response
can be automatically terminated after the release timer expires. When ingress
traffic falls below this threshold, ATC sends a Storm Alarm Clear Trap and logs it.
◆ When traffic falls below the alarm clear threshold after the release timer
expires, traffic control (for rate limiting) will be stopped and a Traffic Control
Release Trap sent and logged. Note that if the control action has shut down a
port, it can only be manually re-enabled using the auto-traffic-control control-
release command).
◆ The traffic control response of rate limiting can be released automatically or
manually. The control response of shutting down a port can only be released
manually.
