Chapter 20 Configuring Port-Based Traffic Control
Configuring Storm Control
To disable storm control, use the no storm-control broadcast level, no storm-control multicast level,
or no storm-control unicast level interface configuration commands.
This example shows how to set the multicast storm control level at 70.5 percent on a port and to verify
the configuration:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/1
Switch(config-if)# storm-control multicast level 70.5
Switch(config-if)# end
Switch# show storm-control gigabitethernet0/1 multicast
Interface Filter State Level Current

Gi0/1
Forwarding 70.50% 0.00%
This example shows how to disable the multicast storm control on a port:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/1
Switch(config-if)# no storm-control multicast level
Switch(config-if)# end
Step 4
storm-control multicast level level [.level]
Specify the multicast traffic suppression level for an interface as a
percentage of total bandwidth. The level can be from 1 to 100; the
optional fraction of a level can be from 0 to 99. A threshold value
of 100 percent means that no limit is placed on broadcast traffic. A
value of 0.0 means that all multicast traffic on that port is blocked.
Step 5
storm-control unicast level level [.level]
Specify the unicast traffic suppression level for an interface as a
percentage of total bandwidth. The level can be from 1 to 100; the
optional fraction of a level can be from 0 to 99. A threshold value
of 100 percent means that no limit is placed on broadcast traffic. A
value of 0.0 means that all unicast traffic on that port is blocked.
Step 6
end
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 7
show storm-control [interface-id] [broadcast |
multicast | unicast]
Verify the storm control suppression levels set on the interface for
the specified traffic type. If you do not enter a traffic type,
broadcast storm control settings are displayed.
