Storm control commands can be used to configure broadcast, multicast,
and unknown unicast storm control thresholds. Traffic storms may occur
when a device on your network is malfunctioning, or if application
programs are not well designed or properly configured. If there is too much
traffic on your network, performance can be severely degraded or
everything can come to complete halt.
You can protect your network from traffic storms by setting a threshold for
broadcast, multicast or unknown unicast traffic. Any packets exceeding the
specified threshold will then be dropped.

Table 118: Rate Limit Commands

Command Function
storm-sample-type Toggles threshold value units of storm control
settings to be either packets per second or
kilobits per second.
switchport Configures broadcast, multicast, and unknown
packet-rate unicast storm control thresholds
*
show interfaces Displays the administrative and operational
switchport status of an interface
* Enabling hardware-level storm control with this command on a port will disable
software-level automatic storm control on the same port if configured by the
traffic-control command.
The command toggles the threshold units for
either kilobits per second or packets per second.
