Automatic Traffic Control

Setting the ATC Timers

Use the Traffic > Auto Traffic Control (Configure Global) page to set the time at
which to apply the control response after ingress traffic has exceeded the upper
threshold, and the time at which to release the control response after ingress traffic
has fallen beneath the lower threshold.
Command Usage
◆
After the apply timer expires, the settings in the Traffic > Automatic Traffic
Control (Configure Interface) page are used to determine if a control action will
be triggered (as configured under the Action field) or a trap message sent (as
configured under the Trap Storm Fire field).
◆
The release timer only applies to a Rate Control response set in the Action field
of the ATC (Interface Configuration) page. When a port has been shut down by
a control response, it must be manually re-enabled using the Manual Control
Release (see page 237).
