Storm Control
Storm control is supported on the Dell networking OS.
The storm control feature allows you to control unknown-unicast, muticast, and broadcast control trac on Layer 2 and Layer 3 physical
interfaces.
Dell Networking OS Behavior: The Dell Networking OS supports broadcast control (the storm-control broadcast command) for
Layer 2 and Layer 3 trac. The minimum number of packets per second (PPS) that storm control can limit is two.
To view the storm control broadcast conguration show storm-control broadcast | multicast | unknown-unicast |
pfc-llfc [interface] command.
EXEC Privilege
To view the storm control multicast conguration, use the show storm-control multicast [interface] command.

Storm control is supported in INTERFACE mode and CONFIGURATION mode.
Conguring Storm Control from INTERFACE Mode
To congure storm control, use the following command.
You can only congure storm control for ingress trac in INTERFACE mode. If you congure storm control from both INTERFACE and
CONFIGURATION mode, the INTERFACE mode congurations override the CONFIGURATION mode congurations.
