Storm Control - Dell MXL 10GbE Reference Manual

Storm Control

The Dell Networking Operating System (OS) storm control feature allows you to limit or suppress traffic
during a traffic storm.
Storm control is supported on the Dell Networking OS Z-Series S4810 S4820T platforms.
Important Points to Remember
• Interface commands can only be applied 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).
