■ when activated, storm protection operationally disables the port for 60
seconds
cre qos tr=1 desc=stormprotection storms=ena stormw=200
stormr=50kbps storma=linkd stormt=60

Required when storm protection is enabled.
If the value of stormwindow is less than one second, the rate is
averaged over the last second.

Rate Bits per second from 1Kbps to 10Gbps, specified in
Kbps, Mbps or Gbps. If you do not specify a unit, it
