Setting The Port State Change Delay - 3Com 4210 9-Port Configuration Manual

When a type of traffic on the port falls back to the specified lower threshold, the system cancels the
blocking of this type of traffic on the port or brings up the port to restore traffic forwarding for the port,
and outputs log/trap information according to your configuration.
Follow these steps to configure storm control on a port:
To do...
Enter system view
Set the interval at which the
port collects traffic statistics
Enter Ethernet port view
Set the upper and lower
thresholds of
broadcast/multicast traffic
received on the port
Set the action to be taken when
a type of traffic received on the
port exceeds the upper
threshold.
Enable log/trap information to
be output when a type of traffic
received on the port exceeds
the upper threshold or falls
below the lower threshold
If the broadcast-suppression command, or multicast-suppression command is configured on a
port, you cannot configure the storm control function on the port, and vice versa.
You are not recommended to set the upper and lower traffic thresholds to the same value.
If you specify the block keyword when executing the storm-constrain control command, only the
packets beyond the upper thresholds are blocked when the overall traffic exceeds the upper
threshold. In this case, the blocked packets are still taken into account when generating traffic
statistics. If you specify the shutdown keyword when executing the command, the port will be shut
down when the traffic passing through the port exceeds the upper threshold. You bring up the port
again by executing the undo shutdown or the undo storm-constrain { all | broadcast |
multicast } command.

Setting the Port State Change Delay

During a short period after you connect your switch to another device, the connecting port may go up
and down frequently due to hardware compatibility, resulting in service interruption.
To avoid situations like this, you may introduce a port state change delay.
Use the command...
system-view
storm-constrain interval
interval-value
interface interface-type
interface-number
storm-constrain { broadcast |
multicast } max-packets
min-packets { pps | kbps }
storm-constrain control
{ block | shutdown }
storm-constrain enable { log |
trap }
1-10
