STORM CONTROL LEVEL

storm-control level

Overview Use this command to specify the speed limiting level for broadcast, multicast, or dlf
(destination lookup failure) traffic for the port. Storm-control limits the selected
traffic type to the specified percentage of the maximum port speed.
Use the no variant of this command to disable storm-control for broadcast,
multicast or dlf traffic.
storm-control {broadcast|multicast|dlf} level <level>
Syntax
no storm-control {broadcast|multicast|dlf} level
Default Disabled
Mode Interface Configuration
Usage notes Flooding techniques are used to block the forwarding of unnecessary flooded
traffic. A packet storm occurs when a large number of broadcast packets are
received on a port. Forwarding these packets can cause the network to slow down
or time out.
More than one limit type can be set at a time. For example, you can configure both
broadcast and multicast levels on the same port, at the same time.
Example To limit broadcast traffic on port1.0.2 to 30% of the maximum port speed, use the
following commands:
awplus#
awplus(config)#
awplus(config-if)#
