Note
You must carve TCAM before setting the storm-control-cpu rate on a port channel.

DETAILED STEPS
Purpose
Command or Action
Enters global configuration mode.
configure terminal
Example:
Step 1
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)#
Enters interface configuration mode.
interface
{
ethernet slot
/
port
|
port-channel number
}
Example:
Step 2
switch# interface ethernet 1/1
switch(config-if)#
Configures traffic storm control for traffic on the interface.
You can also configure bandwidth level as a percentage

either of port capacity or packets-per-second. The default
state is disabled.
Example:
switch(config-if)# storm-control unicast level 40
Example:
switch(config-if)# storm-control broadcast level
pps 8000
Generates an SNMP trap (defined in
CISCO-PORT-STORM-CONTROL-MIB) and a syslog
message when the traffic storm control limit is reached.
