To configure storm control settings:
1. Select the check box next to the port to configure. Select multiple check boxes to apply
the same setting to all selected ports. Select the check box in the heading row to apply
the same settings to all ports.
2. From the Ingress Control Mode menu, select the mode of broadcast affected by storm
control.
• Disable. Do not use storm control.
• Unknown Unicast. If the rate of unknown L2 unicast (destination lookup failure)
traffic ingressing on an interface increases beyond the configured threshold, the traffic
will be dropped.
• Multicast. If the rate of L2 multicast traffic ingressing on an interface increases
beyond the configured threshold, the traffic will be dropped.
• Broadcast. If the rate of L2 broadcast traffic ingressing on an interface increases
beyond the configured threshold, the traffic will be dropped.
3. In the Threshold field, specify the maximum rate at which unknown packets are forwarded.
The range is a percent of the total threshold between 0–100%. The default is 5%.
4. In the Control Action field, determine the action to be taken when a broadcast storm is
detected:
• RateLimit. Limits the rate at which incoming traffic is forwarded.
• Shutdown. Administratively disables the port when the ingress/incoming broadcast
traffic reaches the configured threshold. If the port is shut down because the
broadcast traffic exceeds the configured limit, you must manually reenable it by using
the Switching > Ports > Port Configuration page (see
page 102).
5. Click Cancel to cancel the configuration on the screen and reset the data on the screen to
the latest value of the switch.
6. If you make changes to the page, click Apply to apply the changes to the system.
