FIGURE 5-5. STORM CONTROL CONFIGURATION
Parameter description:
Global Storm Policer Configuration: Global storm policers for the switch are configured on this page.
There is a unicast storm policer, multicast storm policer, and a broadcast storm policer.
These only affect flooded frames, i.e. frames with a (VLAN ID, DMAC) pair not present in the MAC Address table.
Frame Type: The frame type for which the configuration below applies.
Enable: Enable or disable the global storm policer for the given frame type.
Rate: Controls the rate for the global storm policer. This value is restricted to 10-13128147 when “Unit” is fps or kbps, and 1-13128
when “Unit” is kfps or Mbps. The rate is internally rounded up to the nearest value supported by the global storm policer. Supported
rates are divisible by 10 fps or 25 kbps.
Unit: Controls the unit of measure for the global storm policer rate as fps, kfps, kbps or Mbps.
Port Storm Policer Configuration Help: Port storm policers for all switch ports are configured on this page.
There is a storm policer for known and unknown unicast frames, known and unknown broadcast frames and unknown (flooded)
unicast, multicast and broadcast frames.
Port: The port number for which the configuration below applies.
Enable: Enable or disable the storm policer for this switch port.
Rate: Controls the rate for the port storm policer. This value is restricted to 10-13128147 when “Unit” is fps or kbps, and 1-13128 when
“Unit” is kfps or Mbps. The rate is internally rounded up to the nearest value supported by the port storm policer. Supported rates are
divisible by 10 fps or 25 kbps.
