ONFIGURATION
Use the Traffic > Storm Control page to configure broadcast, multicast, and
unknown unicast storm control thresholds. Traffic storms may occur when
a device on your network is malfunctioning, or if application programs are
not well designed or properly configured. If there is too much traffic on
your network, performance can be severely degraded or everything can
come to complete halt.
You can protect your network from traffic storms by setting a threshold for
broadcast, multicast or unknown unicast traffic. Any packets exceeding the
specified threshold will then be dropped.

◆
Broadcast Storm Control is enabled by default.
◆
Broadcast control does not effect IP multicast traffic.
◆
When traffic exceeds the threshold specified for broadcast and
multicast or unknown unicast traffic, packets exceeding the threshold
are dropped until the rate falls back down beneath the threshold.
◆
The rate limits set by this function are also used by automatic storm
control when the control response is set to rate limiting by the
command.
◆
Using both rate limiting and storm control on the same interface may
lead to unexpected results. For example, suppose broadcast storm
control is set to 500 pps by the command “switchport broadcast
packet-rate 500" and the rate limit is set to 200 Mbps by the command
“rate-limit input 20" on a port. Since 200 Mbps is 1/5 of line speed
(1000 Mbps), the received rate will actually be 100 pps, or 1/5 of the
500 pps limit set by the storm control command. It is therefore not
advisable to use both of these commands on the same interface.
