storm-control broadcast
command) for Layer 2 and Layer 3 traffic.
Dell Networking OS Behavior
: The minimum number of packets per second (PPS) that storm control can
limit on the device is two.

From INTERFACE mode:
• You can only on configure storm control for ingress traffic.
• If you configure storm control from both INTERFACE and CONFIGURATION mode, the INTERFACE
mode configurations override the CONFIGURATION mode configurations.
