Enabling Global Storm-Control
Enable global storm-control globally and enter the percentage of total available bandwidth that you
want to be used by all traffic (multicast, unicast,); entering 100 percent would allow all traffic.
To enable a particular type of global storm-control, use the following commands beginning in privileged
EXEC mode:
Verifying Global Storm-Control
Step 1
Use the show storm-control command to view switchport characteristics, including storm-control levels
set on the interface:
Router#
show storm-control
Step 2
Use the show interface counters privileged EXEC commands to display the count of discarded packets.
To verify global storm-control statistics on an interface, use the following commands beginning in
privileged EXEC mode:
Command
Purpose
Step 1
Router#
configure terminal
Enters global configuration mode.
Step 2
Router(config)#
[
no
]
storm-control
broadcast level
level
Specifies the broadcast suppression level for an interface as a
percentage of total bandwidth. A threshold value of 100 percent
means that no limit is placed on broadcast traffic.
Use the no keyword to restore the defaults.
Step 3
Router(config)#
[
no
]
storm-control
multicast level
level
Specifies the multicast suppression level for an interface as a
percentage of total bandwidth.
Use the no keyword to restore the defaults.
Step 4
Router(config)#
[
no
]
storm-control
unicast level
level
Specifies the unicast suppression level for an interface as a
percentage of total bandwidth.
Use the no keyword to restore the defaults.
Step 5
Router(config)#
end
Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
