storm-control

To set the storm control rate for broadcast, multicast, and DLF packets, use the command storm-control in Interface Configuration Mode. The no form of this command deletes the configured storm control rate for broadcast, multicast, and DLF packets to the default value.

storm-control

storm-control { {broadcast } { |multicast } { | dlf} } { level } { <rate-value (1-262143)> }

no storm-control

no storm-control { <access-list-number (1-65535)> } { {in } { | out} }

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
`broadcast`		Enter to set the storm control rate for Broadcast packets.
`multicast`		Enter to set the storm control rate for Multicast packets.
`dlf`		Enter to set the storm control rate for Destination lookup failure (dlf) packets. Note: Redirect Filter is not applicable for out bound packets.
`level`		Enter to configure the storm control suppression level.
`<rate-value (1-262143)>`	Integer	Enter a value for the storm control rate for Destination lookup failure (dlf) packets. This value ranges from 1 to 262143 packets per second.

Mode

Interface Configuration Mode

Default

Broadcast, multicast, and DLF storm control are disabled.

Prerequisites

Storm control is supported only on physical interfaces.

The above configurations are applicable per port level in ingress direction, not per device level. The value configured in level, should be applicable to the type (broadcast/multicast/dlf) whichever is configured.

Examples

iS5Comm (config)# interface gigabit 0/1

iS5Comm (config-if)# storm-control broadcast level 1000

iS5Comm (config-if)# end

iS5Comm (config-if)# show interfaces storm-control
