Optional
Disabled by default
Specify to send trap messages
when the traffic detected
exceeds the upper threshold or
drops down below the lower
threshold from a point higher
than the upper threshold
storm-constrain enable trap
Optional
By default, the system sends
trap messages when the traffic
detected exceeds the upper
threshold or drops down below
the lower threshold from a point
higher than the upper
threshold.
Specify to send log when the
traffic detected exceeds the
upper threshold or drops down
below the lower threshold from
a point higher than the upper
threshold
storm-constrain enable log
Optional
By default, the system sends
log when the traffic detected
exceeds the upper threshold or
drops down below the lower
threshold from a point higher
than the upper threshold.
z
For network stability sake, configure the interval for generating traffic statistics to a value that is not
shorter than the default.
z
The storm constrain function, after being enabled, requires a complete statistical period (specified
by the
storm-constrain interval
command) to collect traffic data, and analyzes the data in the next
period. Thus, it is normal that a period longer than one statistic period is waited for a control action
to happen if you enable the function while the packet storm is present. However, the action will be
taken within two periods.
z
The storm constrain function is applicable to unicast packets, multicast packets, and broadcast
packets; and you can specify the upper and lower threshold for any of the three types of packets.
