Parameters 
all: Disables storm control for all types of packets: broadcast, multicast, and unknown unicast. 
broadcast: Enables or disables broadcast storm control. 
multicast: Enables or disables multicast storm control. 
unicast: Enables or disables unknown unicast storm control. 
pps: Sets storm control thresholds in pps.  
kbps: Sets storm control thresholds in kbps. 
ratio: Sets storm control thresholds as a percentage of the transmission capacity of the interface.  
max-values: Sets the upper threshold, in pps, kbps, or percentage. The value range for this argument 
varies with device models. 
min-values: Sets the lower threshold. The value range for this argument is 1 to max-values. Avoid setting 
the lower threshold to be the same as the upper threshold. 
Description 
Use the storm-constrain command to enable broadcast, multicast, or unknown unicast storm control on 
an Ethernet port. 
Use the undo storm-constrain command to disable storm control. 
By default, traffic storm control is disabled. 
 
  NOTE: 
•  To achieve desirable storm protection effect, avoid configuring both the storm-constrain command and
any storm suppression command (unicast-suppression, multicast-suppression, and 
broadcast-suppression) on a port. 
•  An upper threshold must be greater than or equal to the corresponding lower threshold. H3C does no
recommend you to configure the same value for the two thresholds.
