User Guidelines
Broadcast storm control can only be enabled on physical interfaces. It cannot
be configured on port channels.
Setting the level, rate or action enables broadcast storm control. When
enabled, broadcast storm control can issue a trap and drop traffic in excess of
the configured rate (level) or shut down the port if the rate is exceeded.
Either the level or the rate threshold may be configured, but not both.
