Description
The storm-control command is used to enable the broadcast, multicast, or
unicast strom control function and to set threshold levels on an interface. To
disable the storm control function, please use no storm-control command.
Syntax
storm-control { broadcast | multicast | unicast } { kbps | ratio | pps } {
rate
}
no storm-control { broadcast | multicast | unicast }
Parameter
broadcast | multicast | unicast —— Enable broadcast/multicast/unicast storm
control on the interface.
kbps | ratio | pps —— Specify the storm control type.
kbps: Specify the threshold in kbits per second.
ratio: Specify the threshold as a percentage of the bandwidth.
pps: Specify the threshold in packets per second.
rate
—— Specify the bandwidth for receiving packets on the port. The
specified type of packet traffic exceeding the bandwidth will be discarded.
For kbps, the rate ranges from 1 to 1000000 kbps. For ratio, the rate ranges
from 1 to 100 percent. For pps, the rate ranges from 1 to 1488000 packets
per second.
Command Mode
Interface Configuration Mode (interface gigabitEthernet / interface range
gigabitEthernet / interface port-channel / interface range port-channel)
Privilege Requirement
Only Admin, Operator and Power User level users have access to these
commands.
User Guidelines
Before you configure the storm-control type as kbps or ratio, pelease ensure
that the port is not in pps mode.
Example
Configure the broadcast storm control rate as 1000 kbps on port 1/0/5:
T1600G-52TS(config)# interface gigabitEthernet 1/0/5
T1600G-52TS(config-if)# storm-control broadcast kbps 1000
