Default
Disabled
100
Purpose
Enters global configuration mode.
Enters interface configuration mode.
Configures traffic storm control for traffic on the interface.
The default state is disabled.
Also configures an optional corrective action that can be
performed when traffic exceeds the configured level:
• shutdown—Shuts down the port or puts it in the
error-disable state.
• trap—Generates an SNMP trap.
The no form of this command removes the configured level
or action. Although shutdown and trap actions can be
specified independent of each other, the no form of
storm-control action removes both actions.
