DETAILED STEPS
Note If any type of traffic exceeds the upper threshold limit, all of the other types of traffic will be stopped.
Disabling Per-Port Storm Control
Follow these steps to disable per-port storm control.
Command Purpose
Step 1
enable
Example:
Router> enable
Enables privileged EXEC mode.
• Enter your password if prompted.
Step 2
configure terminal

Router# configure terminal
Enters global configuration mode.
Step 3
interface interface-id
Example:
Router(config)# interface 0/3/1
Enters interface configuration mode and specifies the port to
configure.
Step 4
storm-control {broadcast | multicast |
unicast} level
level-high [level-low]
Example:
Router(config-if)# Storm-control
broadcast level 7
Configures broadcast, multicast, or unicast per-port storm control.
• Specify the rising threshold level for either broadcast, multicast,
or unicast traffic. The storm control action occurs when traffic
utilization reaches this level.
• (Optional) Specify the falling threshold level. The normal
transmission restarts (if the action is filtering) when traffic drops
below this level.
Step 5
storm-control action shutdown
Example:
Router(config-if)# Storm-control action
shutdown
Selects the shutdown keyword to disable the port during a storm.
• The default is to filter out the traffic.
