Automatic Traffic Control Commands
4-237
4
The key elements of this diagram are the same as that described in the preceding
diagram, except that automatic release of the control response is not provided.
When traffic control is applied, you must manually re-enable the port.
Functional Limitations
Automatic storm control is a software level control function. Traffic storms can also
be controlled at the hardware level using the
switchport packet-rate command
(page 4-228). However, only one of these control types can be applied to a port.
Enabling automatic storm control on a port will disable hardware-level storm control
on that port.
auto-traffic-control apply-timer
This command sets the time at which to apply the control response after ingress
traffic has exceeded the upper threshold. Use the
no form to restore the default
setting.
Syntax
auto-traffic-control { broadcast | multicast } apply-timer seconds
no auto-traffic-control { broadcast | multicast } apply-timer
• broadcast - Specifies automatic storm control for broadcast traffic.
• multicast - Specifies automatic storm control for multicast traffic.
• seconds - The interval after the upper threshold has been exceeded at
which to apply the control response. (Range: 1-300 seconds)
Default Setting
300 seconds
Command Mode
Global Configuration
Command Usage
After the apply timer expires, a control action may be triggered as specified by
the
auto-traffic-control action command (page 4-241) and a trap message
sent as specified by the snmp-server enable port-traps atc
broadcast-control-apply command (page 4-244) or snmp-server enable
port-traps atc multicast-control-apply command (page 4-245).
Example
This example sets the apply timer to 200 seconds for all ports.
Console(config)#auto-traffic-control broadcast apply-timer 200
Console(config)#
