Usage
Flooding techniques are used to block the forwarding of unnecessary flooded
traffic. A packet storm occurs when a large number of broadcast packets are
received on a port. Forwarding these packets can cause the network to slow down
or time out.
Example
To limit broadcast traffic on
port1.0.2
to 30% of the maximum port speed, use
the following commands:
awplus#
configure terminal
awplus(config)#
interface port1.0.2
awplus(config-if)#
storm-control broadcast level 30
