Port Configuration
3-133

CLI
– Specify any interface, and then enter the threshold. The following example
sets the multicast threshold at 600 packets per second for port 1.
Setting Unknown Unicast Storm Thresholds
You can protect your network from excess unknown unicast traffic by setting
thresholds for each port. Any multicast packets exceeding the specified threshold
will then be dropped.
Command Usage
• 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).
