Chapter 9 Configuring Port-Based Traffic Control
Configuring Storm Control
Step 4
storm-control {broadcast |
multicast | unicast} level {level
[level-low] | bps bps [bps-low] | pps
pps [pps-low]}
Configure broadcast, multicast, or unicast storm control. By
default, storm control is disabled.
The keywords have these meanings:
• For level, specify the rising threshold level for broadcast,
multicast, or unicast traffic as a percentage (up to two
decimal places) of the bandwidth. The port blocks traffic
when the rising threshold is reached. The range is 0.00 to
100.00.
• (Optional) For level-low, specify the falling threshold level
as a percentage (up to two decimal places) of the bandwidth.
This value must be less than or equal to the rising
suppression value. The port forwards traffic when traffic
drops below this level. If you do not configure a falling
suppression level, it is set to the rising suppression level. The
range is 0.00 to 100.00.
If you set the threshold to the maximum value (100 percent),
no limit is placed on the traffic. If you set the threshold to
0.0, all broadcast, multicast, and unicast traffic on that port
is blocked.
• For bps bps, specify the rising threshold level for broadcast,
multicast, or unicast traffic in bits per second (up to one
decimal place). The port blocks traffic when the rising
threshold is reached. The range is 0.0 to 10000000000.0.
• (Optional) For bps-low, specify the falling threshold level in
bits per second (up to one decimal place). It can be less than
or equal to the rising threshold level. The port forwards
traffic when traffic drops below this level. The range is 0.0
to 10000000000.0.
• For pps pps, specify the rising threshold level for broadcast,
multicast, or unicast traffic in packets per second (up to one
decimal place). The port blocks traffic when the rising
threshold is reached. The range is 0.0 to 10000000000.0.
• (Optional) For pps-low, specify the falling threshold level in
packets per second (up to one decimal place). It can be less
than or equal to the rising threshold level. The port forwards
traffic when traffic drops below this level. The range is 0.0
to 10000000000.0.
For BPS and PPS settings, you can use metric suffixes such as k,
m, and g for large number thresholds.
Step 5
storm-control action {shutdown |
trap}
Specify the action to take when a storm is detected. The default
is to filter out the traffic and not to send traps.
• Select the shutdown keyword to error-disable the port
during a storm.
• Select the trap keyword to generate an SNMP trap when a
storm is detected.
Step 6
end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
