Storm Control
The Dell Networking OS storm control feature allows you to limit or suppress traffic during a traffic storm.
NOTE: When iSCSI storage devices are detected on the server-ports, storm-control is disabled on
the those ports. When the iSCSI devices are off the ports, storm-control is enabled again.
The storm control commands are:
• io-aggregator broadcast storm-control
• show io-aggregator broadcast storm-control status
io-aggregator broadcast storm-control
Rate-limit the broadcast traffic to 1 Gbps.
