Setting Multicast Storm Thresholds
You can protect your network from excess multicast traffic by setting thresholds for
each port. Any multicast packets exceeding the specified threshold will then be
dropped.
Command Usage
• Multicast Storm Control is disabled by default.
• Due to an ASIC chip limitation, the supported storm control modes include:
- broadcast
- bro multicast
- bro mul unknown unicast
This means that when mulicast storm control is enabled, broadcast storm control
is also enabled (using the threshold value set by the multicast storm control
command). And when unknown unicast storm control is enabled, both broadcast
and multicast storm control are also enabled (using the threshold value set by the
unknown unicast storm control command).
