This command configures broadcast, multicast and unknown unicast storm
control. Use the no form to restore the default setting.
SYNTAX
switchport {broadcast | multicast | unicast} packet-rate rate
no switchport {broadcast | multicast | unicast}
broadcast - Specifies storm control for broadcast traffic.
multicast - Specifies storm control for multicast traffic.
unicast - Specifies storm control for unknown unicast traffic.
rate - Threshold level as a rate; i.e., kilobits per second.
(Range: 64-100000 Kbps for Fast Ethernet ports,
64-1000000 Kbps for Gigabit Ethernet ports)
DEFAULT SETTING
Broadcast Storm Control: Enabled, packet-rate limit: 64 kbps
Multicast Storm Control: Disabled
Unknown Unicast Storm Control: Disabled
COMMAND MODE
Interface Configuration (Ethernet)
COMMAND USAGE
â—† When traffic exceeds the threshold specified for broadcast and
multicast or unknown unicast traffic, packets exceeding the threshold
are dropped until the rate falls back down beneath the threshold.
â—† Traffic storms can be controlled at the hardware level using this
command or at the software level using the auto-traffic-control
command. However, only one of these control types can be applied to a
port. Enabling hardware-level storm control on a port will disable
automatic storm control on that port.
