You can only apply interface commands on physical interfaces (virtual local area networks
[VLANs] and link aggregation group [LAG] interfaces are not supported).
An INTERFACE-level command only supports storm control configuration on ingress.
An INTERFACE-level command overrides any CONFIGURATION-level ingress command for
that physical interface, if both are configured.
Do not apply per-VLAN quality of service (QoS) on an interface that has storm control enabled
(either on an interface or globally).
