Storm Control
– 237 –
Rate limits set by the storm control function are also used by automatic storm
control when the control response is set to rate control on the Auto Traffic
Control (Configure Interface) page.
Using both rate limiting and storm control on the same interface may lead to
unexpected results. It is therefore not advisable to use both of these features on
the same interface.
